Book Description: Boydell Brewer Ltd, United Kingdom, 1998. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 156 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In the last third of the nineteenth century, the language of patriotism and national identity was appropriated by the political right. However, the British left did not give up ideas about patriotism and national identity after the emergence of socialism in the 1880s, which was rather presented as a restoration of an English past lost to industrial capitalism. This book traces the complex relationship between the British left and national identity in socialism's formative years, showing how some socialists used ideas of Englishness to legitimate their own form of socialism and to repudiate others, such as anarchism, syndicalism and Marxism, as 'foreign'. This Whiggish view of history was essentially English, yet many who held it were Scottish, Welsh and Irish, and they played a full role in creating a 'British socialism'. The First World War dealt a severe blow to radical patriotism. Pro-war sections of the labour movement were brought into the state, reinforcing their belief in parliamentarism and a consensual patriotism.The anti-war left continued to use radical patriotic language in the early years of the war, for example against the 'foreign yoke' of conscription, but the war degraded patriotism generally and the Russian Revolution gave internationalism a new focus. It also threatened the dominant concept of British socialism, and the post-war years saw a bitter debate over the forms of socialism. Moderate Labour, convinced that office could only be achieved on terms set by the British constitution, sought to prove their fitness to govern, and concentrated on the 'national interest' rather than oppositional Englishness. The left of the labour movement looked to soviet Russia rather than the English past for models for a future socialist society. The hold of radical patriotism on the British left was broken, but that of patriotism was not. It would take another world war to re-unite the two.PAUL WARD is lecturer in Modern British History at Royal Holloway College, University of London, and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Westminster.
