Samuel Smiles, the subject of historian Kate Williams's cheerful programme, used his famous manual, Self-Help, to advocate the benefits of "painstaking labour" and unremitting study". I'm not sure that reaching for a second biscuit is quite what Smiles had in mind.There were plenty of interesting facts and figures: Smiles was outsold only by the Bible when Self-Help was published, and his funeral cortege was second only to Queen Victoria's. His manual was published on the same day as Darwin's Origin of the Species. Michael Portillo appeared to explain how "absolutely Smilesian" Margaret Thatcher was: "Frivolity is not a word one would ever use in the same sentence as Margaret Thatcher," he suggested, doing just that.Debate centred on whether Self-Help is an enabling treatise or a document of repression. Tom Hodgkinson took the latter view, arguing that the book's aim was to create servility: "The large body of men are going to go happily into the factories." Williams struggled to find consensus, but did celebrate his thrifty ways, and his endless determination. "He absolutely refused to be daunted," she noted.
