For centuries, Britain has laid claim to the notion of liberty--and occasionally forgotten that the rights and freedoms enjoyed by its citizens were in fact hard-won. This volume uncovers those struggles--their winners, losers, and stalemates--which began nearly a millennium ago and continue to the present day. At heart, "Taking Liberties" is the story of individuals who sacrificed greatly for what they believed in, whether they were celebrated in their own day, like Wat Tyler and Emmeline Pankhurst, or little known despite their remarkable impact, like John Lilburne, Caroline Norton, and Fenner Brockway. Drawing on a wide range of British collections--including diaries, firsthand accounts, and individual ephemera--this readable and compelling text helps give a voice to the nature of British democracy at a time when cohesion, diversity, and identity have raised the stakes of public debate.

[EAN: 9780712350716], [SC: 11.0], [PU: British Library, London.], Jacket, 2008, 144pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition. For centuries Britain has laid claim to the notion of liberty, yet the rights and freedoms we enjoy throughout the United Kingdom today were in fact hard fought for and won. This book uncovers those struggles, their winners, losers and stalemates, which have stretched over 900 years, and continue still. Whilst there were battles between nations, civil war and the execution of a monarch, at its heart this is a personal story of individuals who made great sacrifices for what they believed was right. Some individuals are justly celebrated, such as Wat Tyler, William Wilberforce and Emmeline Pankhurst, but many are lesser known though their impact was no less important, including John Lilburne, John Wilkes, Caroline Norton and Fenner Brockway. Published in association with a major exhibition at the British Library, 31 October 2008-1 March 2009., Books<
