Lord Shaftesbury by J. Wesley Bready is a comprehensive biography of Anthony Ashley Cooper, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. The book delves into the life and accomplishments of this prominent British politician and social reformer who lived from 1801 to 1885. The author examines Shaftesbury's early life, education, political career, and his tireless efforts to improve the lives of the poor and vulnerable in Victorian England. Bready also explores Shaftesbury's religious convictions and his role in the evangelical movement of the era. The book provides a detailed look at Shaftesbury's advocacy for factory reform, education reform, and the abolition of slavery. Bready also covers Shaftesbury's involvement in the Ragged Schools movement, which sought to provide education to destitute children in the slums of London. The book paints a vivid picture of Shaftesbury's life and times, and offers insights into the social, political, and religious issues of Victorian England. Overall, Lord Shaftesbury is a compelling biography that sheds light on the life and legacy of one of the most important figures of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
