By John Thomas Barker, Joseph Barker, Joseph Barker

Book Overview

""The Life of Joseph Barker"" is a biographical account of the English socialist and religious leader, Joseph Barker. Written by Barker himself, the book covers his early life, conversion to Christianity, and subsequent departure from the established church to become a prominent leader in the Chartist movement. Barker's life was marked by controversy and conflict, including his public denunciation of the Bible as an infallible source of authority and his advocacy for women's rights and socialism. The book provides insight into the social and political climate of Victorian England and the struggles faced by those who sought to challenge the status quo. Overall, ""The Life of Joseph Barker"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of social reform and religious dissent in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
