About this product

Product Information

Isaac Foot led a life almost unimaginable to us today in its fullness and variety. Born in Plymouth, he was a radical and uncompromising Liberal MP, a Methodist preacher, an eloquent orator and lawyer, a lover of life and literature, a unique collector of books, a true Westcountryman and a great family man, lovingly married, first to Eva and then after her death to Kitty, and the father of five sons and two daughters. This volume has been collected and edited by his son Michael and one of his ten grandchildren, Alison Highet, from the immense collection of papers, letters, articles, sermons and family memorabilia that Isaac Foot left behind. The book covers Isaac's early years in Plymouth; his courtship of Eva; his family life; his work as a lawyer; his many election campaigns and his time as Liberal MP for Bodmin; his Methodism, his preaching and his leading role in the Free Church movement; his pledge to teetotalism and his leadership of the temperance cause; his strong opposition to the British government policy of appeasement before the Second World War; the wartime years, especially his tour of America in 1943 to win support for the British war effort; the post-war years as Lord Mayor of Plymouth; his love of reading and of history, with particular interest in the seventeenth century and Oliver Cromwell; and the accumulation of one of the greatest ever private libraries, which filled his family home to overflowing and is now housed at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

    Good intelligent reading

    Isaac Foot was a great Liberal, a great Methodist and a great bibliophile. His life story is riveting. There is a great deal of information about his native city plymouth and his and its links with the New England Plymouth. There is also a lot about his gifted children, especially the three sons who entered politics-Dingle John and Michael. There are lots of photographs. Intelligent commemtary. an excellent lead.
