For historians of the international labour movement, the decades
before 1914 were the golden age of Marxist thought. In this
flowering of socialist thinking, Britain seemingly had no part, and
the question has been asked instead: 'Why was there was no Marxism
in Britain?' The selections in this volume confirm that Marxist
ideas in Britain were not always pitched at the highest theoretical
level. There are also examples of the reductionism to which leading
exponents were sometimes prone. Nevertheless, there is also a
richness and outspokenness across wide and varied themes that
belies the caricature of arid economic determinism. Marxists
believed they carried on the tradition of home-grown movements of
struggle such as Chartism. They also identified with the new spirit
of internationism whose ideas and personalities filled the pages of
their periodicals. Behind such well-known names as William Morris,
James Connolly and Tom Mann, a wider movement of contrarians
remains to be discovered.
