Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These diaries are a unique record of the times Beatrice Webb and her husband Sidney Webb lived in. They were at the centre of British intellectual and political life for nearly seventy years and this diary glitters with the great names of Edwardian society: Rosebery and Asquith, Churchill and Lloyd George, Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells, Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Bernard Shaw. It is also a remarkable revelation of the private face of one of the greatest British women of the past century. Rich in insights and anecdotes about the people and politics of late Victorian and early modern Britain: Beatrice was the mistress of salon politics. She devoted herself to the causes she and Sidney had at heart - the founding of the London School of Economics, trade unionism, local government, the war against poverty, and their books. The establishment of the Fabian Research Bureau in 1912 and the launching of the New Stateman were both her initiatives. The diary is also, finally, one of the most moving records of old age and dying published in the English language.

Book excerpt: This early work by Beatrice and Sidney Webb was originally published in 1935 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Soviet Communism: A New Civilisation? - Vol. I' is a work that details the social structure and principles of the USSR in the early part of the 20th century. Beatrice Potter Webb was born in Gloucester, England in 1858. Both her mother and brother died early in her childhood leaving her to be raised by her father, Richard Potter. He was a successful businessman with large railroad interests and many influential friends in politics and industry whose company the young Beatrice would become accustomed to. Upon reaching adulthood, Potter moved to London and helped her cousin, Charles, a social reformer, research his book The Life and Labour of the People in London. It was during this time that she was introduced to Sidney James Webb, who later became her husband and collaborator. The Webb's, together, wrote eleven volumes of work which arguably shaped the way subsequent scholars thought about sociology. They also collaborated on more than 100 books and articles on the conditions of factory workers, and the economic history of Britain, among other subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Apprenticeship has long been cited as an important and fascinating source for students of social attitudes and conditions in late Victorian Britain, and this new paperback edition makes it once more generally available. Beatrice Webb, the eighth of the nine daughters of the railway magnate Richard Potter, was an exceptionally able person, with a zest for observation, a knack for pointed comment, and a habit of self-examination - all of which gifts she put to good account in the private diary she kept all her life and in this brilliant volume of autobiography which she based on that diary. It tells the story of a craft and a creed, of a withdrawn but talented girl, growing up in a prosperous household, who turned to social investigation and social reform, moving between the two starkly contrasted worlds of West End smart society and East End squalor. She served a hard apprenticeship, as a woman as well as a professional worker, and in a new introduction to this edition Norman MacKenzie describes the severe personal stresses which lay behind her life of dedication to social improvement, particularly her frustrated passion for Joseph Chamberlain and the troubled courtship which preceded her marriage to Sidney Webb. This volume ends on the eve of that marriage, when she was about to begin her famous and astonishingly productive collaboration with her husband. As historians, publicists and Fabian politicians the Webbs were pioneers of the modern age. The ensuring volume, which chronicles their mature career and was appropriately titled Our Partnership, is also published by the Cambridge University Press in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Download or read book Sidney and Beatrice Webb written by David Reisman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic, social and political thought of two highly influential cross-disciplinary contributors to the debate in the United Kingdom about welfare economics, social welfare, nationalisation and public policy. Active between the 1880s and the 1930s, their many books, papers, lectures and speeches shaped the discourse on heterodox economics, social democracy and the managed economy. The Webbs sat on Royal Commissions, permeated local and central government, and were instrumental in the creation of the London School of Economics. This book discusses and assesses their contribution to the broad topics of inequality, poverty, unemployment, freedom, capitalism, socialism, constitutional reform, social evolution and the historical school. Issues such as these remain at the forefront of contemporary discussions not just in Britain but throughout the world.
