Synopsis "Octavia Hill, social activism and the remaking of British society"
Octavia Hill was a housing reformer, open space campaigner, co-founder of the National Trust, founder of the Army Cadet Force, and the first woman to be invited to sit on a royal commission. Yet despite her early pre-eminence, and the remarkable success of the institutions which she helped to found, Hill fell from public favour in the twentieth century. This volume reassesses her life and work to give a nuanced portrait of Hill that is reflective of recent developments in scholarship.
