Excerpt from William CobbettThis chapter is here called 'The Revival of Cobbett.' As originally planned, only a little while ago, it was to have been called 'The Neglect of Cobbett.' It is not unimportant to realise how recent has been the change. It is but a year or two ago that I had the great and (it is to be feared) the undeserved honour of reading a paper on the subject to the Royal Society of Literature on my admission to that body, which certainly consists almost entirely of men who know much more about literature than I do. It was a graceful formality on such an occasion for the least learned person in the room to lecture to all the rest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Review 'A book like this can be but a bare outline of a life so full as that of William Cobbett.' -- G. K. Chesterton
About the Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are "The Man Who Was Thursday", a metaphysical thriller, and "The Everlasting Man", a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics such as "Orthodoxy" and "Heretics". Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown". Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Entertaining look at an underappreciated man By Brad Shorr First a comment about the text--somewhat hard to read because of the type style and narrow margins.I read this because Chesterton is about my favorite non-fiction writer, and because Cobbett's history of the Reformation is tremendous both in its provocative style and myth shattering content.Chesterton approaches his subject with his usual humor and honesty. Cobbett's whole life, GK says, "was a resistance to the degradation of the poor..." Cobbett's books and pamphlets attacking social injustice were scathing and personal. They also contained a great deal of truth. Because of his style and mercurial personality, many in his day dismissed him as a crank. However, by Chesterton's day, Cobbett's insight had become rather obvious: aristocrats driven by greed had indeed shattered the Christian stability of English society; and then more recently capitalism had finished the job of making a complete wreck of the English lower classes. Chesterton skillfully shows how the experiences of Cobbett's life, with his yeoman roots, influenced his almost unique (at the time) vision of England. Cobbett, GK says, was a rare individual who could see before he was able to read; in other words, he saw for himself the clues to England's past--the majestic gothic arches, the churches too large for the villages--and found later that what he had seen did not square with the accepted historical explanations.GK gives us a great sense of Cobbett both as a fascinating personality and an historically crucial figure. All that in only 90 pages!
