This ambitious and wide-ranging book is about the relationship between liberalism and socialism in Britain in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It focuses largely on a group of intellectuals whose names are familiar but whose work has been neglected or misunderstood. Graham Wallas is the forgotten man of early Fabianism. L.T. Hobhouse has misleadingly been typecaset as the last major exponent of a dying liberal tradition. J.A. Hobson's reputation has been obscured by repeated claims that he was a precursor either of the Leninist theory of imperialism or of the Keynesian revolution in economics. The historical work of J.L. and Barbara Hammond has suffered similar revenges from the whirligig of time. Here, then, is a study concerned with their lifetimes, from undergraduate days in an Oxford still haunted by the presence of T.H. Green, to old age in a welfare state which their writings had foreshadowed. - Jacket flap.
