The Letters of Sidney and Beatrice Webb: Volume 2, Partnership 1892-1912 Hardback

Edited by Norman Mackenzie

Hardback

Description

Sidney and Beatrice Webb were among the outstanding political personalities in the period 1890-1945.

They were leading figures in the Fabian Society, prominent historians, and founders of the London School of Economics and the New Statesman.

They exchanged letters with many of the leading figures in the political, intellectual and literary worlds of the time, among them Herbert Asquith, Ramsay MacDonald, George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell.

Volume II of the letters covers the years between the Webb marriage and their return from Asia in 1912.

They were the prime years of the partnership, in which the Webbs came to dominate the Fabian Society, founded the London School of Economics and launched their campaign for the reform of the Poor Law.
