Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
The bestselling author of 'William Pitt the Younger' has written an equally masterful life of another pivotal figure in British politics: the MP for Hull and staunchly conservative campaigner against the slave trade. William Hague has written the life of William Wilberforce who was both a staunch conservative and a tireless campaigner against the slave trade to coincide with the bicentenary of its abolition in 1807.A formidable orator, campaigner and tactician, Yorkshire-born William Wilberforce spearheaded i Parliament the 20-year-long campaign to abolish one of the great abominations of the eighteenth century: the Atlantic slave trade. Starting with research which led him famously to decide in 1787 that 'so enormous, so dreadful and so irremediable did it appear that I resolved I would not rest until I had effected its abolition', Wilberforce and his small band of allies took on the most powerful vested interests in the land, as well as some formidable political opponents, to secure eventual triumph in the dramatic events of 1807.
