The Progressive Pilgrim is wide-ranging in its scope. It is both a guide and a gazetteer; and a research and resources digest. It covers radical people and places, as well as political action and activities, in the past as well as the present. Dr Alan Burnett says: “My main motivation with this book is to share my version of progressive radicalism; my admiration for radical men and women, past and present; my knowledge of the geography of Britain where radical action has taken place; my enthusiasm for research that can assist in progressive campaigning and policymaking; and some of the films, songs and books that I love. My hope is that reading this book will foster a sense of pride in what has been achieved by British progressives/radicals and a determination to continue a tradition that will make Britain a better country in which to be born, grow up, be educated, live, work, play, retire, die, and leave for those coming after us.”
