The Political Culture of Anti-Socialism in Britain 1900 - 1940 Liam Ryan A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirement the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, School of Humani September 2018 70,740 words 1 Abstract This thesis examines the political culture of anti-socialism in Britain between 1900 and 1940. Previous studies of the topic have examined its importance to the Conservative Party and spe- cific intellectual movements like late-nineteenth century Individualism. The existing scholar- ship has largely judged anti-socialism in relation to its efficacy as a political strategy and rele- vance to intellectual debates about the changing nature of the state. This study argues that both approaches fail to capture the diversity of anti-socialism in early twentieth century Brit- ain. It contends that anti-socialism was a complex political culture defined by strengths and weaknesses. The four decades between 1900 and 1940 witnessed the emergence of the La- bour Party as a significant political force, the expansion of the trade union movement and the victory of the Bolshevik Revolution. The political culture of anti-socialism developed in reac- tion to these seismic developments. Confronted by sizeable social and political movements in favour of socialism for the first time, anti-socialists developed ideologies and practices that would resonate throughout the twentieth century. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor James Thompson for his support and encour- agement over the four years it took to complete this PhD.

The ‘extreme elasticity’ of socialism and the multiplicity of its forms hindered the development of clear and effective opposition. Thomas Kirkup, an altogether more sympathetic observer than the right-wing Times, nevertheless agreed that socialism was marked by a variety of manifestations. United in one sense by a shared economic basis, calling for ‘a fundamental change in the relation of labour to land and capital’ the ideals and movements associated with the term socialism also decreed the necessity of change in relation to the ‘political, ethical, technical and artistic arrangements....of society’, which taken together would ‘constitute a revolution greater than has ever taken place in human history’.2 The broadness of the socialist vision, which extended beyond adjustments to political and economic conventions, was also recognised by the Conservative politician and intellectual, Noel Skelton. Writing in 1923, Skelton, the figure who coined the phrase and developed the concept of the ‘property owning democracy’, spoke of the pressing need for Conservatives to expound clear and definable ideas in order to counter principles which offered ‘a comprehensive view of life’ that ‘greatly extended the boundaries of politics’. 3 1 ‘The Socialist Movement in Great Britain’, The Times (London), 7 Jan. 1909. 2 T.

Skelton, ‘Constructive Conservatism: II.- The New Era’, The Spectator, (5 May. 1923), 744. 7 Fighting on the ‘broadest of fronts’, the task for its Conservative adversaries was to construct a rival and plausible ‘view of life’.4 The belief that the growing prominence of socialism, or perhaps more accurately socialisms, in early twentieth-century Britain expanded the sites and frontiers of political activity is central to the analytical framing of this thesis. Socialist ideals possessed a transformative logic and nature that extended beyond the narrow purview of party politics. Socialists pledged to overturn private capital in favour of public ownership, sought to replace the materialistic and competitive urges of capitalism with the ethical communitarianism of cooperation, privileged structural rather than personal factors in the shaping of individual capabilities, looked to the creation of new ways of living and alternative selfhoods, and argued for greater parity of esteem for workers, women, and colonial peoples. These guiding principles presumed and incorporated seismic alterations to the existing character and constitution of society, culture, politics and economics. For its opponents, the all- encompassing nature of the socialist ‘threat’ meant that an adequate counter-response, however exaggerated and sensationalised it may now seem to contemporary observers in light of the labour movement’s relative moderation, had to encapsulate key battlegrounds in civil society, organised religion, popular culture, and intellectual debate as well as party politics. This formative characteristic of anti-socialist thought and activism provides the central framing mechanism and justification for undertaking this thesis. K.D. Brown’s influential 1974 edited collection Essays in Anti-Labour History prefigured some of the major concerns and issues raised in this thesis.5 The essays in this work addressed 4 Skelton, ‘Constructive’, 744. 5 K.D.

Brown, Michael Bentley and Nicholas Soldon, for example, probed the anxieties of Conservatives, Liberals and anti-socialist organisations as they came to grips with ‘the growth of collectivist sentiment and the politicisation of the working classes’, developments which ultimately found political 6 ‘Introduction’, in Brown (ed.), Essays in Anti-Labour History, 1. 7 For challenges relating to Labour’s

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. Made and Printed in Great Britain by The Camelot Press Limited, London and Southampton TO MY WIFE AS A MEMORY OF FOUR JUGOSLAV JOURNEYS TOGETHER (1912, 1913, 1920, 1925.) SARAJEVO (A SERB FOLKSONG) Sarajevo, whence comes thy gloom? Tell me, has fire consumed thee? Or has the flood engulfed thy streets? Or has the plague laid hold on thee? Softly Sarajevo gives answer: " Had fire consumed me so sore, My shining courts would rise again. Had the fierce flood engulfed my streets, My markets would be cleansed and fresh. But plague has laid her murderous hand, Her murderous hand on young and old, And those I love has torn apart." PREFACE MUCH has been written on the immediate origins of the Great War and the complicated diplomatic conflict which preceded actual hostilities; but till very recently the Balkan aspect of the question has not received the attention which it deserves. The two most authoritative surveys in English — Mr. Headlam-Morley's The History of Twelve Days (1915) and Sir Charles Oman's The Outbreak of the War (1918) — are now both out of date, owing to the subsequent publication of the German and Austrian diplomatic documents, and of much supple- mentary material of a less official character. Thus there is great need of a book summarising all the latest evidence on a question which is of burning importance in the Europe of to-day.

The Histories, Volume 8, Number 1 36 V Writing about Winston: Two Works Compared By Victoria Valusek ‘10 History records the ebb and flow of the tide of human endeavor and whether there are lessons to be learned depends primarily upon two factors. The first is the honesty, accuracy, and integrity of the person recording. The second is the critical consideration/sensibility of the student. Geoffrey Best (Churchill: A Study in Greatness) and Paul Addison (Churchill: The Unexpected Hero) have chosen as their subject the life of one of the most prominent political leaders of the modem era. The “ebb and flow” described by both depict Churchill as not so much riding the tide, but, more or less, sloshing around in the surf and despite his efforts at self-destruction Winston Churchill (1874-1965) somehow manages to save himself from drowning - sometimes by sheer will-power, but most often by chance. The self-destruct mechanism both authors ascribe to Churchill is his egomania.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.

The answer that generated popular approval concerned the defence of Belgian neutrality, defiled by German invasion in the execution of the Schlieffen Plan. Less appealing, and therefore less invoked for public consumption, but broadly consistent with this promoted justification, was Britain’s long-standing interest in maintaining a balance of power on the continent, which a German victory would not only disrupt, according to Foreign Office officials, but replace with a ‘political dictatorship’ inimical to political freedom.1 Yet only 6 days before the British declaration of war, on 30 July, the chairman of the Liberal Foreign Affairs Group, Arthur Ponsonby, informed Prime Minister Asquith that ‘nine tenths of the [Liberal] party’ supported neutrality.

  • The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies And
    The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies and Utopian/Dystopian Impulses, 1908-10 Robyn Walton During the years 1908-10 in Britain and Northern Europe, a number of liter- ary authors were producing fictions that both reflected and critiqued what Joseph Conrad later described as “the crudely materialistic atmosphere of the time.”1 In 1908, Conrad and his literary collaborator Ford Madox Ford (Hueffer) were completing The Nature of a Crime , a slight tale of one Lon- don professional’s addiction to embezzlement .2 Taking this Conrad-Ford microcosm of Edwardian materialism as its point of departure, this article first analyses how a range of 1908-10 fictions represent local financial prac- tices and the impacts of Northern money-making and materialistic culture. It notes that the narratives concentrate on upwardly mobile and creative characters of the middle classes, rather than on aristocrats or on the work- ing poor and unemployed who were the subject of contemporaneous social surveys and were the most immediately affected by their social superiors’ financial criminality and mismanagement. The article then asks why – given that Northern incomes, raw materials, and finished goods frequently had their origins in the colonies and developing nations – these fictions rarely examined the impacts of global resource exploitation on regions outside Europe. A number of possible reasons why the 1908-10 authors did not at- tend to the colonies are explored. The fictions’ few allusions to colonies and developing nations are found to further the authors’ collective critique of COLLOQUY text theory critique 21 (2011). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue021/walton.pdf 116 Robyn Walton ░ Europe’s materialist, capitalist culture rather than to investigate colonial cir- cumstances.
