About this product

Product Information

At the age of thirty-seven, after a very short courtship, William Wilberforce married Barbara Spooner, the daughter of a Midlands industrialist, and their first child was born in the following year. His family life brought him both happiness and anxiety. Convinced that he had been 'too long a Bachelor', he lacked confidence in his ability to be a good husband and father.

Reviews
Annes thoroughly well researched references and notes make this account of Claphams most significant resident and the network of domestic relationship which earthed his pursuit of great causes, a thoroughly good read, casting light on the crucial significance of Wilberforces closest friends and acquaintances., [Anne Stott] tells her compelling story with great sympathy, and has a gift for insightful comparisons., although Anne Stott tells a tale whose contours are mostly familiar, her meticulous reconstruction of the private lives of Wilberforce and the 'Saints' opens up unexpected and compelling new perspectives on it ... in letting the protagonists speak for themselves she allows them to undermine the subtle and not-so-subtle reverence of many existing accounts ... The strength of this book is that it tries to tell things as they really were. [It is] such a good read., ... beautifully and sensitively captures their [the Claphamites] particular legacy of high-minded evangelical fervour and crusading zeal tempered by strong family attachments, deep friendships, intellectual curiosity and spontaneous enjoyment of innocent pleasures ..., "In this lively biography, Anne Stott explores the centrality of familial relationships and concerns to the lives of William Wilberforce and the Anglican evangelical circle that surrounded him....Stott has conducted truly impressive and comprehensive research: her knowledge of the Clapham circle and its social connections is exhaustive....Well-researched and enjoyably written, the book offers a wealth of insights into late eighteenth--and early nineteenth-century domestic life in England."--Journal of Modern History, Anne Stott's latest book is an excellent example of the ways in which the religious, as well as the broader intellectual and political, currents of an age can be illuminated through the exploration of family connections., "In this lively biography, Anne Stott explores the centrality of familial relationships and concerns to the lives of William Wilberforce and the Anglican evangelical circle that surrounded him. ... Stott has conducted truly impressive and comprehensive research: her knowledge of the Clapham circle and its social connections is exhaustive. ... Well-researched and enjoyably written, the book offers a wealth of insights into late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century domestic life in England." --Journal of Modern History, This is well written, deliberately accessible for the non-expert reader, but also a leisurely book where the pleasure comes from immersion in these family relationships. The expert historian might not learn anything new about gender or the family in the period, but this does not detract from a scholarly and engaging work that does tell us something new about Wilberforce and particularly the women and men who made him who he was. In particular, it reminds us of how significantfriends and family are to shaping the identity of great men.
