Shining new light on one of Britain's most celebrated figures, this
new biography insightfully explores the beliefs underlying
Shaftesbury's passion for the poor Drawing extensively from Lord
Shaftesbury's private journals, this accessible biography shows not
just the story of his life--from his happy marriage and many
children to his acts of Parliament--but also how his faith led and
equipped him to fight for justice in society. Lord Shaftesbury was
one of the best loved politicians and social reformers of
nineteenth century England. His deep compassion for the poor was
legendary, as were his tireless campaigns to limit factory hours,
stop the use of boys as chimney sweeps and children in coalmines,
and to develop universal education. As a result he changed the
character of English society forever. Revealing a moving portrait
of a sensitive thinker, areas covered in this important biography
include his upbringing and education; his work as a politician and
his campaign for mental health; his contribution towards the
founding of the Bible Society; his role as a defender of the
Protestant faith; his personal theology; and much more.
