Sobre IBD

Son of an innkeeper, former soldier, champion of the working class, early anticorporate activist, and future Member of Parliament-Will Cobbett’s unique eye offers us a perspective on 19th-century England we won’t find anywhere else. Cobbett roamed Southern England on horseback in the years between 1821 and 1832, gathering his 'economical and political observations relative to matters applicable to, and illustrated by, the state of' that charming part of the world, one in the throes of massive change in the wake of the Industrial Revolution. Originally published in two volumes but presented here as one edition, this is an extraordinary record of a world long gone, one very little documented when it existed, by a voice who was far ahead of his time.British journalist and radical WILLIAM COBBETT (1763-1835) published the weekly newsletter Political Register and is also the author of Advice to Young Men (1829), The Progress of a Ploughboy to a Seat in Parliament (1830), Rural Rides (1830), and Cottage Economy (1821).
