John Saville (1916-2009) was one of the leading socialist academics
of his generation, and one of the most influential figures in
British labour history. This new collection of essays offers a
variety of perspectives on his lifetime's work. A first section -
commitments - assesses Saville's activities, at different times
during his life, as a communist, as a founder of the New Left, and
as editor (with Ralph Miliband) of the long-running Socialist
Register. The middle section - themes - looks at key themes which
mattered for Saville, from revolutionary anti-imperialism in India
to the politics of Cold War and debates in labour history. In part
three - interventions - contributors discuss Saville's
contributions to contemporary historical understanding of Chartism,
British labourism and the Cold War. The aim is to offer critical
analysis and reflection in the tradition which Saville himself did
so much to establish.
