A new biography of the Victorian philanthropist, educationalist and social reformer Joseph Rowntree is to be published in the autumn.
It is the first biography since Anne Vernon’s study of 1958 and will trace Joseph Rowntree’s life from grocer’s son to manufacturing magnate.
The book, which will be written by the award-winning journalist and writer Chris Titley, has been commissioned by The Rowntree Society.
