In this book, Edwin Roberts provides a comparative intellectual history of the development of Marxist theory in Great Britian, concentrating on the years between the Great Depression and the Cold War. Roberts argues that during this period there developed among university-educated intellectuals a distinctively Anglicized form of Marxist theory that prefigured the analytical Marxism so prominent in the English-speaking world today. Roberts' important book explores this school_a precursor to contemporary analytical Marxism_examining key figures such as Haldane and Bernal and providing readers with a compelling argument for the significance of Anglo-Marxism in the tradition of Marxist thought.

Edwin A. Roberts is assistant professor of political science at California State University, Long Beach.
Roberts has produced a valuable and erudite study of the native historical context of analytical Marxism/socialism . . . provocative and original, and merits the attention of all who are concerned with the origins and development of that tradition. (Graeme Kirkpatrick, Head of Sociology, University of Manchester)
This book is a needed addition to scholarship on British political history and British political theory. . . . Roberts has produced a work that elucidates a deep reservoir of Marxist thought in twentieth-century Britain. In so doing, he has offered the reader a picture of a more integrated and interconnected British Marxist culture than one may have assumed. (American Political Science Review)
Roberts presents a fine summary of the essentially class-oriented if theoretically imperfect Marxism of the ' autodicats' . (Sheila Cohen Capital & Class)
The Anglo-Marxists is uniquely valuable for its precise summaries and thoughtful assessments of the work of hitherto neglected Communist thinkers such as John Lewis and Maurice Cornforth from a humane but critical perspective. (Alan Wald, professor emeritus of English and American culture, University of Michigan)
