Description
"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Louis Blanc was a French politician and historian. He may best be known for his attempts to implement socialist reforms with the new government that was formed after the Revolution of 1848 in France. While he aimed to secure employment for the urban poor, there were ultimately too many issues with the government and the policies for Blanc to effect any real change. He was blamed for the failure of the new social program and his safety was threatened. To keep his health and his life, he was forced to flee France. He first escaped through Belgium and then found his way to London.
During the years of 1847-1862, Blanc lived in England. While staying in England, he wrote a multitude of letters about England. These letters explore his experiences and his opinions about English life and politics. This first volume of his letters contains sixty individual letters in total. These cover a wide range of topics. Some of the most common topics he explores are politics, society, and British royalty. Blanc explores politics in letters such as "The English in China," "England an Aristocratic Republic," and "Rivalry Between English and Americans." He discusses British society in letters such as "Industrial Crimes," "How the Poor Die," and "National Education in England." He studies royalty in letters such as "the Queen," "The Duke of Bedford," and "Death of Prince Albert."
This collection of letters would be great for any reader, but especially for the reader interested in English society and structure in the nineteenth century, or the reader interested in the life and experiences of Louis Blanc.
