A Man Of Parts – George Sturt

Description

This is the first biography of George Sturt. It is written by Valerie Lewis.

George Sturt, though less well known than William Cobbett, was in his way as fine a writer. His experience of his father’s wheelwright’s business taught him a great respect for craftsmanship, and combined with his understanding of rural life, made him a great advocate for those who lived by it in the face of enclosure and mechanisation.

This book covers Sturt’s life and, as such, is an important addition to Farnham scholarship.
