{"product_id":"9781442638709","title":"Newspaper Writings: Volumes XXII-XXV","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor just over fifty years John Stuart Mill contributed articles and letters to the newspapers, setting before the public a radical position on contemporary events. From 1822 to 1873, in newspapers as widely read as \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e and the\u003cem\u003e Morning Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e, and as narrowly circulated as the \u003cem\u003eTrue Sun \u003c\/em\u003eand the \u003cem\u003eNew Times, \u003c\/em\u003ehe praised his friends and damned his opponents, while commenting on a while range of issues at home and abroad, from banking to Ireland, from wife-beating to land nationalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis main series of newspaper writings concerned France (especially during the first four years of the Revolution of 1830) and Ireland (especially during December 1846 and January 1847, when various proposals for relief of the starving cottiers were being debated). Mill felt himself peculiarly fitted to explain French affairs and Irish solutions to the non-comprehending and wrong-headed English.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut his pen was wielded wherever he say stupidity and narrowness, and he found them in astonishingly varied areas. He tried to explain to his obdurate countrymen the first principles of law reform, political economy, relations between the sexes, democracy, international law, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVirtually none of these texts have been reprinted before this volume. The Introduction by Ann Robson sets the items in their historical and personal perspective, and draws out the implications for Mill's life and thought. The Textual Introduction by John Robson gives an account of the sources of the texts, and lays out principles and methods followed in the editing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Mill that emerges from these pages is a fighting journalist, uninhibited, forthright, and often brilliantly satirical, testing his theoretical opinions in the real world, gradually maturing and developing a practical philosophy whose influence has been felt well into our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128167022832,"sku":"9781442638709","price":212.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442638709_p0.jpg?v=1763810554","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442638709","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
