The British New Left

A scholarly and sympathetic treatment of the rise and fall of the British New Left, which was relatively separate from the international movements of the 1960s. Describes the post-war advance of capitalism in which the movement rose during the 1950s, the major writing and thinking, and the evolution of concerns from traditions and culture through society and politics to history and theory.
