The Cabinet Minister is an 1839 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore, originally published in three volumes.[1] [2] It is part of the tradition of silver fork novels popular during the era which focus on the upper-classes, and part of a subset of books which focus on British politics. It follows events in the Whig movement from the Regency Crisis of 1810 through the Great Reform Act in 1832 to the present in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign.[3]
