Book desription: New York, NY, U.S.A.: Cambridge University Press, 1980. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. This is a study of the character of British Marxism and its significance for the labor movement; in the aftermath of the First World War, two opposite traditions were consolidated in the labor movement, the dominate tradition represented by the Labour Party, and the Marxist tradition shaped by the Russian Revolution which constituted the most coherent critique of Labourism; this study examines the ideological components of Marxism in the context of the dominant working-class political culture; special attention is paid to a generation of proletarian intellectuals who exercised a crucial influence before their subsequent decline (dark gray cloth with gold lettering, spine ends very slightly bumped; red & maroon dust jacket with photo of Labour College lecture room on the front, in near fine condition except for small scrape on rear cover)
