The third volume includes a range of pamphlets, lectures and other
documents which help illustrate the intellectual and political
activities and environment which shaped the British mainstream left
of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The early concerns and
activities of the Fabian Society since its foundation in the 1880s
are illustrated in the selection, as are the concerns, problems,
events and opportunities leading to the formation and early
development of the Labour Party in the years from the turn of the
century to the outbreak of the First World War. Also included are
writings of members of the Independent Labour Party (ILP). Formed
in the 1890s, the ILP not only became a key player in the formation
and early development of the Labour Party but also served as a more
radical alternative. The concerns and activities of these two
parties and the Fabian Society overlapped one another and some of
the key figures of British socialism were members of more than one
of these three key organizations. As the volume illustrates,
together the Fabians, ILP and Labour constituted the foundations of
contemporary British social democracy.
