Note(s) : This book poses a major revisionist challenge to 20th century British labour history,
aiming to look beyond the Marxist and Fabian exclusion of working class experience,
notably religion and self-help, in order to exaggerate 'labour movement' class cohesion.
Instead of a 'forward march' to secular state-socialism, the research presented here
is devoted to a rich diversity of social movements and ideas. In this collection of
essays, the editors establish the liberal-pluralist tradition, with the following
chapters covering three distinct sections. Part One, 'Other Forms of Association'
covers subjects such as trade unions, the Co-operative Party, women's community activism
and Protestant Nonconformity. Part Two, 'Other Leaders', covers employer Edward Cadbury;
Trades Union Congress leader Walter Citrine; and the electricians' leader, Frank Chapple.
Part Three, 'Other Intellectuals', considers G.D.H. Cole, Michael Young and left libertarianism
by Stuart White. Readers interested in the British Labour movement will find this
an invaluable resource
