This is a full-length biography of the founder and central figure
of the Christian Socialist movement of 1845-54, the fellow worker
with F. D. Maurice, Charles Kingsley, Tom Hughes and Daniel and
Alexander Macmillan. From a Whig liberal and partly Scottish family
who had learnt to rule in India, Ludlow was educated in
revolutionary Paris and acted as a catalyst to a group of men
brought up in the more established Britain of the nineteenth
century. Outwardly the industrious and loyal subordinate of F. D.
Maurice, he tried desperately to drive a group of men along a route
of his own devising and thus goaded them to adopt alternative
policies to his and to state why they did so. His whole career as
lawyer and Christian Socialist co-operator, would-be politician and
civil servant (for he finally ended up as the first Chief Registrar
of Friendly Societies) was shaped, he maintained, by seven
spiritual crises, and was a strange mixture of achievement and
frustration, of insight and obtuseness.
