Book Description

"Ebenezer Elliott was the original 'unacknowledged legislator' as his contemporary Shelley called poets. His passion for social justice and for free trade to provide the cheapest possible food for the working class of South Yorkshire helped change politics in a way that few poets have managed in history." -- foreword, p. 1.
