Description
The Fabian Society has been one of the most famous and successful agents of social reform in our history. Founded nearly eighty years ago, its policy and organization continue to evolve. It is the more surprising that no history of this unique and influential movement has been published since 1916. Margaret Cole, whose new book fills the gap, is particularly qualified to write it. Her connection with the Fabian Society goes back many years. She was its Secretary from 1939 to 1953, at a time when her husband, G.D.H. Cole, was its Chairman and later its President.
This book, however, is not merely a history of the Society, but of 'Fabian Socialism'; it thus takes in its stride the various 'outside' movements, Guild Socialism, the Labour Research Department, the Socialist League and the New Fabian Research Bureau, most of which have never been chronicled at all. Written in a vivid style by someone who was an intimate friend of so many of the great personalities concerned -- the Webbs, Shaw, Wells, Pease, Stafford Cripps and Lord Attlee, to name only a few -- it will be found not merely very readable, but indispensable for anyone who wants to know about the genesis of modern Britain and the Welfare Society.

The illustration on the cover is reproduced from The Sketch of July, 1895. It shows, from left to right, Graham Wallas, Sidney Webb, Beatrice Webb and Bernard Shaw.
