About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. William Cobbett provides evocative descriptions of the 19th century southern English countryside, his encounters with labourers, and outbursts at the encroaching cities and sufferings of the poor. Ian Dyck places these accounts in the context of Cobbett's political and social beliefs.
Synopsis
Rural Rides is the book for which the English journalist, agriculturist and political reformer William Cobbett is best known. At the time of writing in the early 1820s Cobbett was a radical anti-Corn Law campaigner, newly returned to England from a spell of self-imposed political exile in the United States. Cobbett disapproved of proposals for remedies for agricultural distress suggested in Parliament in 1821.
