Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sidney and Beatrice Webb are the most important British contributors to the socialist tradition. They had a hand in founding many of the institutions that form the fabric of British society; notably the Fabian society, the Labour Party, the London School of Economics, the New Statesman , the Political Quarterly and Tribune. This is the first authorized biography of the Webbs commissioned by the Passfield Trustees; this life of the 'oddest couple since Adam and Eve' differs from previous studies in considering their literary and institution-building accomplishments and not just their personal idiosyncrasies.

Download or read book The Diaries of Beatrice Webb written by Beatrice Potter Webb and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 630 pages. 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.

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 Richard Potter Beatrice Webb s Father and Corporate Capitalist written by Geoffrey Channon and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing studies of the Potter family tend to see Richard Potter through the lens of his most famous daughter, the socialist Beatrice Webb, or through Beatrice and her eight siblings, all girls. In this book, their father, whose business activities sustained the family’s upper-middle-class lifestyle and social position, is the subject of study in his own right. He was a new kind of businessman, a corporate capitalist, who operated on an international stage. This book looks inside the principal companies in which Potter was the chairman (the Great Western and Canadian Grand Trunk railways and the Gloucester Wagon Company) to assess his business acumen and his relationships with other leading business figures including Daniel Gooch, Edward Watkin and William Price. It also examines in detail Potter’s relationships with his wife and daughters, describing how he drew them into some of his key business decisions, and how he recognised the individuality of his daughters, encouraging them to read and think outside conventional boundaries, and to engage with famous intellectuals, most notably Herbert Spencer his life-long friend, who were part of the family circle, so shaping their lives as distinctive and strong adults. Beatrice had no doubt that he played a key part in shaping her professional life.

Download or read book Our Partnership written by Beatrice Webb and published by Brewster Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Beatrice Webb was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Our Partnership' contains details on the wealth of topics that Beatrice and her husband, Sidney, worked on together. Beatrice Potter Webb was born in Gloucester, England in 1858. Educated at home by a governess, she also travelled widely and, due to this, gained a keen interest in sociology. Using the valuable resource of her father's library, studying became a passion, and she soon began to conduct her own sociological investigations. However, it was a time she spent with relatives in Lancashire, that Beatrice had her first glimpse of the working classes and their way of life. In 1913, along with her husband, Beatrice created the New Statesman, which grew to become an incredibly influential publication. They also founded the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1895. The Webb's, together, wrote eleven volumes of work which arguably shaped the way subsequent scholars thought about sociology.
