Isaac Foot led a life almost unimaginable to us today in its fullness and variety. Born in Plymouth, he was a radical and uncompromising Liberal MP, a Methodist preacher, an eloquent orator and lawyer, a lover of life and literature, a unique collector of books, a true Westcountryman and a great family man, lovingly married, first to Eva and then after her death to Kitty, and the father of five sons and two daughters. This volume has been collected and edited by his son Michael and one of his ten grandchildren, Alison Highet, from the immense collection of papers, letters, articles, sermons and family memorabilia that Isaac Foot left behind. The book covers Isaac's early years in Plymouth; his courtship of Eva; his family life; his work as a lawyer; his many election campaigns and his time as Liberal MP for Bodmin; his Methodism, his preaching and his leading role in the Free Church movement; his pledge to teetotalism and his leadership of the temperance cause; No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
