Description

William Cobbett by G.K. Chesterton is the biography of an English pamphleteer, journalist, politician, and farmer born in Farnham, Surrey. He was one of an agrarian faction seeking to reform Parliament, abolish "rotten boroughs", restrain foreign activity, and raise wages to ease poverty among farm laborers and small landholders. Cobbett backed lower taxes, saving, reversing common enclosures, and resisting the 1821 gold standard.
