Sir Walter Besant (14 August 1836 – 9 June 1901), was a novelist and historian. William Henry Besant was his brother, and another brother, Frank, was the husband of Annie Besant.
The son of a merchant, he was born at Portsmouth, Hampshire and attended school at St Paul's, Southsea, Stockwell Grammar, London and King's College London. In 1855, he was admitted as a pensioner to Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1859 as 18th wrangler. After a year as Mathematical Master at Rossall School, Fleetwood, Lancashire and a year at Leamington College, he spent 6 years as professor of mathematics at the Royal College, Mauritius. A decline in health compelled him to resign, and he returned to England and settled in London in 1867. From 1868 to 1885 he held the position of Secretary to the Palestine Exploration Fund. In 1871, he was admitted to Lincoln's Inn.
For reading list A on Gender and Sexuality, I've asked my students to read three pieces of Victorian non-fiction. First is "Disinterested Kindness," which is an excerpt from Sarah Stickney Ellis' conduct manual entitled The Women of England. Second is an anonymous letter to the editor supposedly from a prostitute entitled "The Great Social Evil." And last is an excerpt from Walter Besant's social history of Victorian Britain entitled The Queen's Reign, the excerpt is entitled "The Transformation of Women's Status between 1837 and 1897." These three non-fiction pieces take on very different questions and approach issues from different points of view, but I think when taken together they show us some really interesting things about the Victorian mindset.

The History of London audiobook by Walter Besant (1836-1901) Walter Besant was a novelist and historian, and his topographical and historical writings, ranging from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century, were probably best known through the detailed 10-volume Survey of London published after his death. This earlier single volume covers, in less depth, the whole period from prehistory until the 19th century. The book appears originally to have been written for boys, and, indeed, the chapters are called "Lessons". However, it is a very readable history and provides a fascinating insight into both London's past and the government of the City at the time the book was written (1894). (Summary by Ruth Golding)

Die Bibel sagt voraus, dass kurz vor Jesu Wiederkunft Satan ein irdisches Weltreich errichten wird. Welche Rolle spielt dabei die UNO? Dieser Vortrag schaut auf die Entstehung der Vereinten Nationen, die Führer und Vordenker und vor allem Programm und Ziele. Es wird deutlich, dass die UNO eine klar spiritistische Philosophie vertritt und offensiv für die Vereinigung der gesamten Menschheit zu einer Wirtschaft, Religion und Regierung eintritt. Der Preis dafür ist hoch: Durch ein neues Erziehungsprogramm sollen schon Kleinkinder familiären und regionalen Einflüssen entzogen und zu sozialistisch denkenden Kollektiv-Weltbürgern gemacht werden, die die total un...
Henry Besant of Strangehill on the thoughts behind the Booking Office bar drinks menu.
Annie Besant (1 October 1847 – 20 September 1933) was a prominent British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist, writer and orator and supporter of Irish and Indian self-rule. At age 20 she married Frank Besant, but separated from him over religious differences. She then became a prominent speaker for the National Secular Society (NSS) and writer and a close friend of Charles Bradlaugh. In 1877 they were prosecuted for publishing a book by birth control campaigner Charles Knowlton. The scandal made them famous, and Bradlaugh was elected M.P. for Northampton in 1880.
