'The Diaries of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury (1801-85): Vol. 1, Part One' demonstrates the emergence of Lord Ashley, the 'Poor Man's Earl', as a passionate evangelical reformer and determined advocate for a range of domestic and international issues and causes.
Lord Ashley (later the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury), the 'Poor Man's Earl', is widely remembered as a leading aristocratic philanthropist whose concern for suffering and the oppressed victims of Victorian 'progress' saw him champion a range of social, industrial, educational, and health reforms. A deeply religious individual, his evangelicalism and sense of philanthropy as 'duty' make these extraordinarily rich and candid diaries a vital resource for understanding the motivations of a prominent philanthropist and Victorian social reformer. The Diaries of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury contain detailed accounts of his labours, religious and philosophical reflections, self analysis, and descriptions and criticisms of contemporaries, and offer thereby a fascinating insight into Victorian politics and social change. The full run of the diaries span the period 1825-85. This first volume, covering 1825-45, shows the emergence of Ashley as a passionate evangelical reformer and determined advocate for a range of domestic and international issues and causes. Ashley is seen maturing as a private and public figure, courting and marrying Lady Emily (Minny) Cowper and starting a family while searching for a role and purpose, reading, touring (Europe in 1833-4, and Britain in 1839), and studying, while also taking the first steps in his parliamentary career. Ministerial office did not last long but Ashley soon became a key figure in Tory political circles, working closely with figures such as Peel and Wellington, and establishing his own position on questions of social and industrial reform.
'The Diaries of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury (1801-85): Vol. 1, Part Two' covers the period 1843-45 and presents his discussions of topics such as religious questions (including here the intense debates over Tractarianism); industrial working conditions, especially for children; and the work of the lunacy commission.
This book investigates the life and reputation of Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury, Restoration England's most important politician. As well as re-evaluating his well-known early republican sympathies, the Cabal, the Popish Plot and the politics of party faction - other less familiar themes are explored such as his involvement in the expansion of England's overseas colonies, his relationship with John Locke, his political connections with Scotland and Ireland and his high profile public reputation. These ten leading scholars present a unique picture of this intriguing political figure that draws upon the very latest interdisciplinary research.
