A Campaigner At Home is a non-fiction book written by John Skelton and first published in 1865. The book is a personal account of Skelton’s experiences as a political campaigner in mid-19th century England. Skelton was a prominent figure in the Chartist movement, which sought to expand suffrage and political rights to working-class people. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Skelton’s life as a campaigner. He discusses his interactions with other activists, his experiences organizing public meetings and rallies, and his thoughts on the political climate of the time. Skelton also provides insight into the personal sacrifices and challenges he faced as a political activist, including financial difficulties and legal troubles.Throughout the book, Skelton emphasizes the importance of political action and the need for working-class people to have a voice in government. He argues that the existing political system is corrupt and needs to be reformed in order to better serve the needs of the people. Skelton’s writing is passionate and persuasive, and his personal anecdotes provide a unique perspective on the Chartist movement and the struggles of working-class people in 19th century England.Overall, A Campaigner At Home is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and social climate of mid-19th century England. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of political activism and social justice movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
