John Wilkes: The Scandalous Father of Civil Liberty

John Wilkes: The Scandalous Father of Civil Liberty
Publisher: Yale University Press | ISBN: 0300123639 | edition 2007 | PDF | 496 pages | 1.27 mb
A highly entertaining biography of the incredible John Wilkes, champion of liberty and irrepressible libertine.
“It is difficult to believe that John Wilkes, a notorious womanizer and scandal-monger, was a genuine hero of civil liberties and political democracy on both sides of the Atlantic in the late 18th century, but hero he was and in this engaging book Arthur Cash gives Wilkes the serious treatment he has long deserved.”Eric Foner, Columbia University.
