      abstract = {This volume consists of twelve essays from leading  scholars and younger researchers on various aspects of the  life, work and legacy of Robert Owen (1771-1858). A radical  thinker and humanitarian employer Owen made a major  contribution to nineteenth-century social movements  including co-operatives, trade unions and workers'  education. He was a pioneer of enlightened approaches to  the education of children and an advocate of birth control.  He established utopian communities in both the United  Kingdom and the United States of America, and is often  thought of as a leading early British socialist.},
