The first detailed study of an important debate in the history of the Labour movement.
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.
Review quote:
"From undergraduate level and beyond, readers new to the history of British labor or 20th century politics generally should still be advised to consult this book in its new edition."
Malcom Chase, Labor History

"...tour de force. Woodhouse's book is a model regional study in that it shows both the distinctiveness of the local labor movement and its relationship to national organizations and to historical developments of the period. It should inspire others of the same ilk."
Pamela M. Graves, Victorian Studies
