- Synopsis
- From the abolition of the slave trade to the building of the People’s Palace for East London, social causes are inextricably intertwined with the charitable giving and philanthropic impulses on which they rely for tangible support. This volume focuses on individuals who, unlike those documented in volume two, did not have significant financial resources but were nevertheless leading figures in the philanthropic landscape, such as Walter Besant or Edmund Hay Currie. It also focuses on efforts that were not strictly about providing services or support but in advocating for social change as well.
