This is the first detailed survey of democratic ideas on the
British Left in the period leading to 1914. Socialists of the late
nineteenth century inherited assumptions about the priority of
democracy from a long tradition of British Radicalism. However, the
advent of the Fabians, who rejected this tradition as primitive,
and of an ILP leadership more concerned to enter than reform
parliament, meant that the movement was split between 'strong' and
'weak' views of democracy. By the eve of the First World War a
consensus was emerging that might have formed the basis for a more
realistic and more radical approach to democracy than has actually
been pursued by the Labour Party and the Left during the twentieth
century. Democratic Ideas and the British Labour Movement assesses
an important debate in the history of socialist ideas and in the
formation of the British Labour movement.
