Book Preview: #1 I was born in the late 1940s, and raised in a lower middle-class household. My father was a trade unionist and a member of the Labour Party, who always wondered whether he had, in becoming a teacher in a primary school, betrayed his working-class origins.
#2 I had to learn how to live with my father, who was a socialist. I understood from him just how deeply class feeling had been engrained in the experience of his generation, and in the northern industrial communities from which he came. I learned that the theories of socialism were of little importance compared to the fictions of solidarity.
#3 I was an intellectual, and I rebelled against authority. I was also a case of Conquest’s law, as I most cared about and wanted to make my own was culture. I was right-wing, and I wished to conserve the great tradition of the masters and work for its survival.
#4 I fell in love with France, and this led to a change in the focus of my thinking from culture to politics. I began to understand what I value in the customs, institutions, and culture of Europe. I was sympathetic to the Soviet Union, whose difficulties were caused by capitalist encirclement.
