Summary
This book is a reception study of Karl Marxs and Friedrich Engels ideas in Britain during the late nineteenth century and a revisionist account of the emergence of modern British socialism. It reconstructs how H.M. Hyndman, E.B. Bax, and William Morris interacted with Marx and 'Marxism. It shows how Hyndman was a socialist of liberal and republican provenance, rather than the Tory radical he is typically held to be; how Bax was a sophisticated thinker and highly influential figure in European socialist circles, rather than a negligible pedant; and it shows how Morriss debt to Bax and liberalism has not been given its due. It demonstrates how John Stuart Mill, in particular, was combined with Marx in Britain; it illuminates other liberal influences which help to explain the sectarian attitude adopted by the Social Democratic Federation towards organised labour; and it establishes an alternative genealogy for Fabian socialism.
