George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, was born in 1642 at a time of
great political turmoil when unorthodox religious ideas were met
with intolerance and brutality. Rejecting his puritan background,
Fox toured England, Europe and America, as a dissenting preacher.
His unusual and uncompromising views led to frequent clashes with
the church and the courts. Persecuted, beaten and frequently
imprisoned for blasphemy, Fox was fearless in questioning the need
for clergy and emphasising the accessibility of God to all.
Compiled by John Nickalls from accounts dictated by Fox himself,
this 1952 edition is an intimate depiction of the life and trials
of a radical religious reformer who conquered depression, doubt and
physical infirmity to advance the Quaker movement. It is an
inspiring portrayal of the foundation and early struggles of the
Religious Society of Friends and a personal account of the
turbulent social and religious climate of the period.
