Charles Bradlaugh: a Record of His Life and Work, Volume 1 (of 2) With an Account of his Parliamentary Struggle, Politics and Teachings. Seventh Edition

In this intimate two‑volume biography, the author, Bradlaugh’s own daughter, weaves together personal reminiscences and painstaking research to present a clear picture of a man whose early years were marked by modest origins and a restless curiosity about his family’s roots. She sketches his childhood in Suffolk, the quiet anxiety of a single‑parent household, and the way those formative experiences nurtured the independent spirit that would later define his public life.

The narrative then follows his emergence onto the political stage, detailing the fierce parliamentary battles that made him a lightning rod for controversy. Drawing on contemporary newspapers and the insights of a seasoned historian, the work examines his outspoken teachings, the accusations he faced, and his determined effort to correct the many misunderstandings that surrounded him. Listeners will come away with a nuanced understanding of a figure who combined personal conviction with relentless advocacy, all told through the careful, affectionate lens of someone who knew him best.
