Australia's First Fabians : Middle-Class Radicals, Labour Activists and the Early Labour Movement Hardback
by Mathews Race Mathews
Hardback
Description
Many of Australia's first Fabians are known as legislators, priests, jurists, men and women of letters, diplomats, feminists and educators, yet few are recognised as Fabians.
Until this book, little attention has been given to Australian Fabian thinkers, activists and organisations, and their long-term influence on Australian political and intellectual life.
This book recreates the lives of the first Fabians in Australia, their political ideas and strategies, and presents their visions for society in a lively and entertaining way.
It also explores the similarities between the Fabian Society's development in Britain and Australia.
The book will fill a long-standing gap in Australian intellectual history and the history of early socialist movements in Australia.
