SUMMARY:Richard Cobden – Manchester Citizen to ‘International Man’
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition tracing Richard Cobden’s life\, career and legacy \nRichard Cobden (1804-1865) is usually remembered as leader of the Anti-Corn Law League\, which campaigned for free trade in food during the ‘hungry forties’\, but his public career embraced far more. He was a supporter of educational reform\, press freedom\, and extension of the vote. He was a leading figure of the international peace movement\, a critic of British foreign policy\, and an opponent of slavery and imperialism. However\, before he became the ‘international man’\, Sussex-born Cobden was an active Manchester citizen: a contributor to local societies and leading campaigner behind the establishment of Manchester’s first elected municipal council. \nGround Floor\nTurn left after Archives+ entrance:\nCobden and Manchester\nAnti-Corn Law League Manufacturer \nFirst Floor (Displays found throughout primary corridor outside Reading Room): \nMan on the Make to ‘Manchester Manufacturer’\nEducational Reformer\nAnti-Corn Law Leaguer\nApostle of Free Trade\nPeace Campaigner\nChampion of the Press\nTreaty Negotiator\nFriend of America\nFamily Man \nDisplays in Reading Room:\nDeath and Memorialisation\nLegacy and Inheritance \nThe exhibition is part of a project led by Leeds Beckett University and the University of East Anglia and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council\, which is making thousands of Cobden’s letters available online and using his correspondence to develop teaching materials around the theme of active citizenship. \nFree – just drop in – please consider making a donation to support our cultural programme if you can\, either online or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library
