Autorenporträt
William Cobbett was an English radical socialist who was born in Farnham, Surrey, on March 9, 1763, and died on June 18, 1835. He worked as a farmer and writer. He was part of an agrarian group that wanted to change Parliament, get rid of "rotten boroughs," limit foreign activity, and raise pay so that farmworkers and small landowners could live better lives. Cobbett supported lower taxes, saving, undoing the fencing of commons, and going back to the gold standard. He was against borough-mongers, sinecurists, "tax-eaters" in government, and stockbrokers. Because he was a radical, the Reform Act of 1832 went further, and he was given one of the two new places in Parliament for the borough of Oldham. His fights cover a wide range of topics, from changing the government to faith, including freeing Catholics. Rural Rides (1830, printed) is his most well-known book. He fought against Malthusianism by saying that better economic conditions could allow the world's population to grow. William Cobbett was born on March 9, 1763, in Farnham, Surrey. He was the third child of George Cobbett, a farmer and general store owner, and Anne Vincent. His father taught him how to read and write, and he learned to work at a young age. In the end, he said, "I can't remember a time when I didn't make money." As a child, I used to chase small birds away from turnip seed and rooks away from peas.
