Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Industrial Revolution in England: Popular Addresses, Notes and Other Fragments Late Arnold Toynbee Tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, Together With a Short Memoir
Two years later he entered the University, and, after a few weeks' residence, became a candidate for a Modern History Scholarship, at Balliol College. He did not succeed, but the examiners were struck with some parts of his work,'and invited him to become a member of the College. His residence was deferred ~for a time by ill health and other causes. When he returned to Oxford he was still incapable of any continued mental exertion, and it was not thought expedient that he should try for Honours. He passed his time in miscellaneous reading, and in conversation with friends. An hour or two in the day of serious study was as great a strain as his faculties could bear. Yet few persons ever spent four years at Oxford with more profit to themselves and others.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and ideas of Arnold Toynbee, a revered figure in the annals of social reform who dedicated his life to alleviating poverty and fostering unity. As a contemporary of luminaries like Alfred Milner and Philip Gell, Toynbee fearlessly confronted the social and economic woes plaguing Victorian England. He advocated for workers' rights, tirelessly championing education and better living conditions. Toynbee's writings explored the shortcomings of classical economics, challenging the notion that individual self-interest alone could drive societal progress. Instead, he emphasized the significance of cooperation, social responsibility, and the role of the state in ensuring the well-being of all citizens. This book offers a comprehensive examination of Toynbee's life, ideas, and lasting legacy, shedding light on the complexities of his thought and its enduring relevance in the pursuit of a more just and equitable society.
