The Opinions of William Cobbett

Politician, journalist, reformer, convict, social commentator and all-round thorn in the side of the establishment, Cobbett had a talent for controversial and pugnacious writing that echoes down the centuries and still rings fresh today. Commemorating the the 250th anniversary of William Cobbett’s birth in 2013, a new collection of his writing was published in 2013 by Ashgate Publishing and now republished by Routledge with a foreword by Richard Ingrams.
