Summary "William Cobbett: A Biography in Two Volumes, Vol. 2" by Edward Smith is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The biography chronicles the life and work of William Cobbett, a political reformer and journalist, focusing on his influences and contributions during a time of significant social and political change in England. The text delves into Cobbett's efforts in advocating for the working class, his literary output, and his battles against political corruption and injustices. At the start of the biography, readers are introduced to Cobbett's life in Botley, where he expresses contentment with his family's pastoral lifestyle and the joys of gardening and fishing. Through letters, Cobbett shares his plans for a farming life while balancing his political ambitions, including efforts to address public disenfranchisement and reform parliamentary practices. The groundwork is laid for examining his growing prominence in political discourse, as he begins to align himself with reformers while navigating the complexities of maintaining his integrity amidst public and personal challenges.
