Introduction Notes Introduction 1. William Jupp, Wayfarings: A Record of Adventure and Liberation in the Life of the Spirit (London: Headley Bros., 1918), p. 60. 2. E.P. Thompson has claimed that during the 1870s the number of socialists may have numbered as little as 20. See Edward P. Thompson, William Morris: From Romantic to Revolutionary (London: Lawrence and Wishart, 1955), p. 276. 3. The latter is mentioned in George Bernard Shaw, ‘The Fabian Society: Its Early History’, Fabian Tract No. 41 (February 1892), p. 7. 4. These Christian Socialist bodies are discussed in Peter D’A. Jones, The Christian Socialist Revival, 1877–1914. Religion, Class and Social Conscience in Late Victorian England (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1968). 5. Keith Laybourn, The Rise of Socialism in Britain, c.1881–1951 (Sutton: Gloucestershire, 1997), pp. 32, 34. 6. See Lena Wallis, The Life and Letters of Caroline Martyn (Glasgow: Labour Leader, 1898). Caroline Martyn died in July 1896 at the age of just 29. She became one of the first socialist martyrs of the revival era. 7. On Carpenter, see Chushichi Tsuzuki, Edward Carpenter, 1844–1929: ProphetofHumanFellowship(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1980); Edward Carpenter, My Days and Dreams (London: Allen and Unwin, 1916). 8.

Examples of this earlier literature would include Henry Pelling, The Ori- gins of the Labour Party, 1880–1900 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1965) and G.D.H. Cole, A Short History of the British Working Class Movement, 1789–1947 (London: Allen and Unwin, 1948). 11. See, for example, Eugenio Biagani and Alistair Reid, eds, Currents of Radicalism: Popular Radicalism, Organised Labour and Party Politics in Britain, 1850–1914 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991). 12. Stanley Pierson was particularly instrumental in promoting this con- cept. See Stanley Pierson, British Socialists: The Journey from Fantasy to Politics (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1979); Stanley Pierson, Marxism and the Origins of British Socialism.

It focuses in particular on the movement’s emergence in the 1890s and the first three decades of operation. Situated amidst a growing international field of comparable socialist children’s initiatives, socialist Sunday schools attempted to connect their local activity of children’s education to the broader politics of international socialism. In this discussion I explore the attempt to make this con- nection, including the endeavour to transcend party differences in the creation of a non-partisan international children’s socialist movement, the cooption of traditional Sunday school rituals, and the resolve to make socialist childhood cultures was the responsibility of both men and women. Defending their existence against criticism from conservative campaigners, the state, and sections of the left, socialist Sunday schools mobilized a complex and contested culture of socialist childhood. INTRODUCTION The British Socialist Sunday School movement (SSS) first appeared within the sanguine temper of turn-of-the-century socialist politics. Offering a particularly British interpretation of a growing international interest in children’s socialism, the SSS movement attempted a non-partisan approach, bringing together socialists and radicals of various political * This paper draws on research that would not have been possible without the support of the Overseas Research Scholarship and Cambridge Commonwealth Trusts, Poynton Cambridge Australia Scholarship.

  • Morris, Carpenter, Wilde, and the Political Aesthetics of Labor

Copyright C 2004 Cambridge University Press. 1060-1503/04 $9.50 MORRIS, CARPENTER, WILDE, AND THE POLITICAL AESTHETICS OF LABOR By Ruth Livesey IN JUNE 1885 a group of radical intellectual Londoners gathered for the evening at that hub of nineteenth-century free thought, the South Place Institute. The event was organized by the Socialist League, a revolutionary socialist organization which counted William Morris, Eleanor Marx, and Edward Aveling as its most prominent members at that point in time. But this was no ordinary meeting. There were no lectures and no debates, just popular songs and dramatic recitations that had been carefully rehearsed by the membership in order to entertain for the cause. William Morris drafted a poem for the occasion, urging these “Socialists at Play” to cast their “care aside while song and verse/Touches our hearts.” Play, however, was not to lull the audience into a “luxurious mood”: War, labour, freedom; noble words are these; But must we hymn them in our hours of ease? We must be men (Morris 1885) Morris’s address reminded his audience that their political beliefs permeated both work and play. The members of the Socialist League should structure their leisure like warriors awaiting the call to arms: “Amidst their ballad sings the trumpet voice;/About the sheep-cotes girt for war they go.” The revolution was so self-evidently imminent for these socialists in the fraught mid-1880s that like Morris’s imagined medieval warriors they needed to display a readiness for struggle in all aspects of their lives and let “the cause cling”: About the book we read, the song we sing, Cleave to our cup and hover o’er our plate, And by our bed at morn and even wait.

They are now a familiar sight in many parts of the country. Keep a watch out, for example, for those characteristic forked tails while driving along the M40 towards Oxford, and feeding time at Gigrin Farm at Rhayader, overlooking the Wye and Elan valleys, is an astonishing spectacle. Every afternoon at 2 pm the farmer has been putting out off-cuts from local butchers, and now up to several hundred kites gather there, along with assorted ravens, buzzards and other opportunists. Closer to home my wife thought she saw one passing over the garage out at Manning’s Heath, and a few weeks ago we spotted a pair on the Horsham to Guildford road, not far from the county boundary.

  • Socialists and ‘True’ Patriotism in Britain in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth
    Socialists and ‘True’ Patriotism in Britain in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Paul Ward This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the [JOURNAL TITLE] © [year of publication] [copyright Taylor & Francis]; [JOURNAL TITLE} is available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14608944.1999.9728110 Abstract The relationships between socialism, national identity and patriotism have generated a large literature dating back to Marx’s dictum: ‘The working men have no country.’ Much of that literature focused on the supposed incompatibilities between socialism and patriotism. In Britain, most socialists simply got on with it and were in various ways patriotic all the same. This paper discusses the origins and characteristics of a left-wing patriotism developed by much of the British left, and argues that such appeals to national identity had a remarkable vitality through the Edwardian period and into the First World War. Introduction During the Boer War, Ernest Belfort Bax, leading Marxist theoretician in the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), noted a tendency among opponents of the war to use an alternative patriotism against the belligerent and jingoistic patriotism of the war’s supporters. He recognised this as a continuing radical tradition: ‘up till quite recently to be patriotic meant to be opposed to the monarch and the governing classes of your own 1 country in the interests of the people of your country’. 1 He too opposed the war, yet he did so from a Marxist position, arguing that a British victory in South Africa would strengthen capitalism in Britain. He rejected patriotic opposition to the war and urged others to do likewise: a word of protest against any attempt to revive the word ‘patriotism’, or to refurbish it for democratic purposes.

University of London (United Kingdom) Abstract _________________________________________________________________ This article explores the impetus and motivation for the McMillan sisters, Christian Socialists committed to creating change for the working class in England, to create an innovative and enduring ideal of nursery education through the open-air nursery. Influenced by their membership in the Fabian Society and the Independent Labour Party, they created health and dental clinics for people living in deprivation in Yorkshire and East and South East London, England, campaigned for the 1906 Provision of School Meals Act, and created night camps for deprived children in Deptford in 1908.The night camps were the inspiration for educating young children and in March 1914, the open-air nursery opened for the youngest children living in the tenements of Deptford.

  • The Gertrude Tuckwell Papers
    TUC LIBRARY COLLECTIONS AT THE LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY THE GERTRUDE TUCKWELL PAPERS IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference: TUC Library Collections - Gertrude Tuckwell Papers Dates of creation: 1890-1951 Extent: 10 metres approx. as currently shelved Level of description: Fonds CONTEXT Biographical History: Gertrude Tuckwell (1861-1951) was a trade union organiser and campaigner for Women’s rights. In 1891 she became involved with the Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL), working as its secretary and editor of its journal, the Women’s Trade Union Review before becoming president of the League in 1905. In 1908 she also became president of the National Federation of Women Workers (NFWW) which had been founded in 1906 through the WTUL. She remained active in both organisations until 1918 when she announced her retirement and withdrew effectively from January 1921 when the League merged its work with that of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). Tuckwell also became involved in the struggle for protective legislation in the international arena as she joined the executive committee of the International Association for Labour Legislation in 1906. She also maintained the Christian Socialist tradition of her family (her father was widely known as “the radical parson”) and from 1898 became secretary of the Christian Social Union Research Committee. Custodial history The file folders, which form the greater part of this Collection, are thought to have been deposited with the Trades Union Congress in 1921, along with other records from the Women’s Trade Union League. The blue despatch box, containing the personal papers and other material, was deposited in the late 1950s after her death.
