		Cobbetts account of his home-life makes him appear singularly happy; his love and admiration of his wife never failed; and his education of his children seems to have been distinguished by great kindliness, and by a good deal of healthy wisdom, mingled with the prejudices due to the peculiarities of his temper and circumstances.
		Cobbetts ruling characteristic was a sturdy egoism, which had in it something of the nobler element of selfrespect.
		Cobbetts contributions to periodical literature occupy 100 volumes, twelve of which consist of the papers published at Philadelphia between 1794 and 1800, and the rest of the Weekly Political Register, which ended only with Cobbetts death (June 1835).

		William Cobbett disliked Methodists and middlemen; he thought that the eating of potatoes was unhealthy, and, that the people of London were parasitic, living at the expense of the impoverished country people.
		Cobbett's goal, in his political commentary, was to change the common man's lot by seeing to improvements in how he was collectively governed; but Cobbett was just as keen, again through his writing, to change the common man's lot by inspiring the individual to better himself.

		Cobbett once glossed the term system as a "settled method of proceeding; a fixed line of conduct" (Register 18 [1810], 970), and insisted that the "change of system" he sought was "not so much a change of men, as a change of principles, a change of maxims and rules of government" (Register 16 [1809], 833).
		Cobbett's willingness to reproduce the central posture of the Lloyd's Committee was among the most striking instances of radical egotism.
		If Cobbett sometimes drew on the sense of impersonal determination that was emerging in economic and sociological analysis, he was ruthlessly critical of any effort to use the disappearance of agency as an excuse for existing conditions, or worse yet, as a pretext for transcendental explanation.

		Cobbett responded to abolition and the condition of the plantation slave through perameters defined exclusively by British domestic politics, and he articulated those responses through a rhetoric which, in its frequent enactment of a tone of outraged hysteria, was more dependent on Burke than any other influence.
		Cobbett's writings on slavery and abolition always circle around several of his favourite hobby horses: the sacred status of the British farmer, and of the land, the religious hypocrisy of the Clapham sect, and the superiority of the British labourer over any foreign rival fl or white.
		Cobbett begins an 1804 harangue on Wilberforce's latest bill to abolish the slave trade by stating that the British public are sick of the whole debate and that 'not a few of them would consent to be deprived of the power of hearing' rather than be subjected to hearing more about it.

	Cardiff Corvey Articles, VII.1: A. KRISHNAMURTHY. ‘Assailing the Thing’
		Cobbett’s backward-looking ‘wish to see the poor men of England what the poor men of England were when [he] was born’ has prompted Raymond Williams to caution us that ‘he could be a friend in spirit, but he was not on our road’.
		Cobbett’s distaste for the commodification of land and human relationships may perhaps be the underlying motivation behind his search for a new audience, similar to the manner in which an earlier ‘politics of nostalgia’ saw an alliance between the working class and aristocracy in the eighteenth century.
		Though Cobbett may be guilty of converting every encounter into an exaggerated and self-referential narrative, his collapse of the private and public spheres is morphologically different from that of the ‘bourgeois public sphere’, whose organising principles of reason and calculation shun the intuitive and organic relationships of ‘traditional’ society.

		Cobbett witnessed the early 'yuppification' of farmers, as they aimed to emulate the landed classes with their smart sitting rooms and fine manners (watching 'Pride and Prejudice' is a different experience when you realise that every one of those amusing and sympathetic characters is riding on the back of an increasingly downtrodden rural poor.

		Leonora Nattrass explores the nature and effect of Cobbett's rhetorical strategies, showing through close examination of a broad selection of his polemical writings (from his early American journalism onwards) the complexity, self-consciousness and skill of his stylistic procedures.
		Her close readings examine the political implications of Cobbett's style within the broader context of eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century political prose, and argue that his perceived ideological and stylistic flaws - inconsistency, bigotry, egoism and political nostalgia - are in fact rhetorical strategies designed to appeal to a range of usually polarised reading audiences.
		This re-reading revises a prevailing critical concensus that Cobbett is an unselfconscious populist whose writings reflect rather than challenge the ideological paradoxes and problems of his time.
