Richard Heath

Richard Heath (1831–1912) was an English journalist and author.

His articles on rural topics were published together in The English Peasant (1893), which was part of T. Fisher Unwin's "The Reformer's Bookshelf" series. The Times selected it as one of its "Books of the Week" and said Heath "was tolerably well known a couple of decades ago as an eloquent and persevering, if not always discriminating, champion of the agricultural labourer". They added that the book was written with a "vein of Christian Socialism".
