Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant

By: Walter Besant

Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant (1902) is a posthumously published autobiography by Walter Besant. Although he is more widely known for his works of fiction and book-length studies of the city of London, Besant was also a gifted autobiographer whose unique sense of self and rich memories make for an entertaining, informative read. “I am supposing that [man] has the choice offered him, together with an outline of the future—not a future of fate laid down with Calvinistic rigour, but a future of possibility. And as time, past or future, does not exist in the other world, I am supposing that a man can be born in any age that he pleases.” The son of a merchant, Walter Besant would combine ambition with wit to become one of Victorian England’s leading intellectual figures. His autobiography is not just the portrait of a man, but a record of a century that saw empires rise and fall, industry outpace agriculture, and the life of humanity change forever, for better or worse. Unsatisfied with the success and fame he found in his literary work, Besant dedicated himself to social causes and was a true champion of the poor in London and around the world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Walter Besant’s Autobiography of Sir Walter Besant is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

The arrival of Miss Kennedy, who wants to establish a dressmakers' co-operative, causes great excitement, especially when it transpires she is a friend of Angela Messenger, heiress to a local brewing fortune. Meanwhile, Harry Goslet learns his is not an aristocrat but the son of a lowly army sergeant. Determined to return to his true roots, he moves to the East End, where he ends up in the same boarding house as Miss Kennedy. The two discover a mutual interest in social reform, imagining a People's Palace of delight where the working classes can enjoy recreational activities as a reward for their labours. Nothing is quite what it seems in this magical microcosm, and soon their dreams are realised in the shape of a shimmering edifice that transforms the local community.

The Inner House

By: Walter Besant

In the distant future, an ageless society with a strict government, faces a small rebellion from citizens eager to break away from their rule. It is a cautionary tale that portrays the dangers of immortality. A futuristic society discovers the key to a long and ageless life. Scientists have developed an elixir that allows citizens to live beyond expectations. With this advancement comes new regulations that require each person to embrace uniform behaviors. Without the limitation of death, people become mindless and apathetic to one another. Overpopulation is controlled by a unique policy in which each birth must be justified by a death. A group of vigilantes attempt to disrupt this system, with hopes of returning to nineteenth-century norms. A notable predecessor to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, The Inner House explores the social and ethical conflicts surrounding immortality. Walter Besant delivers a cautionary tale where death is rare and often unexpected. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Inner House is both modern and readable.

Learning from the Lasses

Women of the Patrick Geddes Circle

By: Walter Stephen

In his time his revolutionary ideas appealed to women and he was surrounded by more than a generation of clever and forceful women. One who could say that 'life is not really a gladiators' show; it is rather a vast mothers' meeting!' could not fail to attract followers. WALTER STEPHEN Patrick Geddes - Sociologist, Town Planner, Biologist, Peace Warrior. It is well known that this extraordinary Scot shaped the cityscape of Edinburgh, but for the first time Walter Stephen turns the lens onto the strong, wilful women who influenced the revolutionary man - and who were in turn influenced by him. From his wife and mother in Scotland, to a nun in India and a Marchioness in Ireland, this insightful volume shows the wide range of women across the globe whose lives intertwined with Geddes's, whether professionally or personally. Delving deeper into Geddes's personal life than ever before, Walter Stephen and his fellow Modern Geddesians go beyond the surface of the Scotsman's acclaimed works to reveal the female characters that shaped him throughout his life. Contributors include: Veronica Burbridge, Sian Reynolds, Anne-Michelle Slater, Kenny Munro, Swami Narasimhananda, Sofia Leonard, Kenneth MacLean, Robert Morris and Kate Henderson. A well-researched and thoughtfully written book. SCOTTISH REVIEW OF BOOKS on The Evolution of Evolution [The book] makes the reader realise in what esteem Geddes should be held, not just in Scotland, but across the globe.
