À propos de ce contenu audio

 Dive into the fascinating world of Charles James Fox (1749-1806), a distinguished British Whig parliamentarian and fierce adversary of William Pitt the Younger. A vehement critic of George III, Fox threw his weight behind the American colonists during the War of Independence. He was a fervent advocate of religious freedom, personal liberty, and abolitionism in the parliamentary assembly. Despite his notorious reputation as a gambler and lover, Fox found peace and joy in his marriage to Elizabeth Armistead, a former concubine of the Prince of Wales. Their home, St. Annes Hill, served as their haven of serenity. Fox is best remembered for his compelling oratory skills. According to Wakeman, Foxs speeches were devoid of pretentiousness, filled with sincerity and openness that captivated his listeners.
