General Interest Isaac Foot: A Westcountry Boy - Apostle of England Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 1842751816 Title: Isaac Foot: A Westcountry Boy - Apostle of England The Cheap Fast Free Post Author: Alison Highet Publisher: Methuen Publishing Ltd Year Published: 2006 Number of Pages: 496 Book Binding: Hardback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: LIKENEW SKU: GOR012999750 Item description 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.
