The Battle Of The Press; As Told In The Story Of The Life Of Richard Carlile By His Daughter, Theophila Carlile Campbell

By Theophila Carlile Campbell

Book Overview

A contextual glimpse of a flame that fed a movement. The Battle Of The Press records a life lived at the edge of censorship, and invites readers into the long shadow of a press that challenged power. This is more than a memoir-like narrative; it is a concise, vivid historical biography told through the eyes of Theophila Carlile Campbell about her father, Richard Carlile. The book blends personal motive with a broader political history narrative, tracing the radical press legacy, the fight for freedom of expression, and the ethics of reform in nineteenth century Britain. It reads as accessible history, a nonfiction biography that speaks to both casual readers and scholars alike. Significance lies in its literary and historical resonance: a chronicling of early Victorian Britain's press freedom struggles, a preserved voice from the English reform movement, and a rare artefact of radical journalism legacy. The voice is exacting yet human, offering a grounded portrait of a controversial era while remaining deeply engaging for modern audiences and history enthusiasts. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-an essential academic study resource and a meaningful window into the era that shaped modern British public life.
