William Cobbett - Paperback

by G. K. Chesterton (Author)

This early biography is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Chesterton provides a detailed and meticulous biography of the English farmer and journalist who lived between 1763 and 1835. This book is a fascinating read for any social or political historian. Contents: The Revival of Cobbett; A Self-Made Man; The Tragedy of the Patriot; Revolution and the Bones of Paine; The Amateur Historian; The Rural Rider; Last Days and Death. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
