Encounters With Harriet Martineau by Stuart Hobday

Encounters With Harriet Martineau by Stuart Hobday

A champion of women's rights, racial equality, scientific progress, economic fairness and cooperatives, Harriet Martineau’s popular and influential writing on political and economic issues led to fame across Europe and America in the 1830s. The first female journalist and a founder of sociology she she was a pioneer amongst pioneers. Martineau influenced Charles Darwin, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, Florence Nightingale, Josephine Butler and many others. Her encounters with figures such as these reverberate even today. She was truly a woman ahead of her time.

Stuart has had a 25-year career as a manager in various cultural venues, including London's Transport Museum, the Roman Baths in Bath and the Millennium Dome. In 2001, he returned to his hometown of Norwich and eventually became Director of Norwich Arts Centre. While working, he has also pursued a passion in studying the history of science and has had articles published about 19th-century science, particularly as regards the birth of evolutionary theory. Through doing this, he arrived at the fascinating figure of Harriet Martineau. Stuart became convinced that she was a much neglected historical figure and, in 2012, began an intensive period of research and writing. This book is a result of that research.
