This is the first full-scale biography of Edward Carpenter, an
'eminent Victorian' who played an intriguing role in the revival of
Socialism in Britain in the late nineteenth century. 'A worthy heir
of Carlyle and Ruskin', as Tolstoy called him, Carpenter tackled
boldly the problems of alienation under the pressures of commercial
civilisation, and developed a strongly personalised brand of
Socialism which inspired both the Labour Party and its enemies,
Syndicalism and Anarchism. A homosexual, he grappled with the
problems of sexual alienation above all, and emerged as the
foremost advocate of the homosexual cause at a time when it was a
social 'taboo'. This study, based upon letters and many other
personal documents, reveals much of Carpenter's personal life which
has hitherto remained obscure, including his 'comradeship' with
some of his working-men friends and his influence upon such notable
literary figures as Siegfried Sassoon, E. M. Forster and D. H.
Lawrence.
