Because the Victorian period dawns, modernisation erodes the outdated methods of life and poverty rises. Within the unrest, an unlikely hero emerges, capturing the creativeness of the countryside’s working class. He claims to be the brand new Messiah, and guarantees a greater future. Regardless of his unconventional look and unusual claims, his message resonates with the individuals of Kent, a lot of whom are keen to observe him into bloody battle.
For this Cautionary Dialog, Ian Breckon – writer of Mad Tom’s Rising: The Revolutionary Mystic Sir William Courtenay and the Final Battle Fought on English Soil (US) – joins Tim to debate a forgotten folks hero and the damaging energy of perception in determined occasions.
