{"product_id":"joseph-parkes-of-birmingham","title":"Joseph Parkes of Birmingham","description":"First published in 1926, the original blurb reads: “Joseph Parkes – a descendant of Joseph Priestley, the great scientist and divine – was a notable man during the Reform Era in the nineteenth century. He played an important part in the agitation for the extension of the franchise in 1832; he was secretary of the Commission which prepared the Municipal Reform Act of 1835; he was founder of the Reform Club, and was active in most of the movements of the time. No student of history should fail to read this illuminating study of a remarkable man.” Today it can be read in its historical context.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503683805557,"sku":"9781041430162","price":171.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041430162.jpg?v=1786867393","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/joseph-parkes-of-birmingham","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
