Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This engaging biography of Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Unceasing War on Poverty, takes the reader into the world of the Webbs, the remarkable couple who changed Britain, inspiring a generation to fight for a better society.Born in the 1850s, they came from very different backgrounds. They married in 1892 - but only after Beatrice had previously experienced a long, unhappy relationship. Their fifty-year partnership produced books and reports rather than children. Many of the reforms the Webbs demanded were enacted after their deaths. The hated Poor Law was abolished, and a National Health Service was established, transforming millions of lives. Michael Wards fascinating book details their methods: meticulous research, private persuasion and hospitality, barnstorming public campaigning, and hard political organisation. They created and shaped institutions - the Fabian Society, the London School of Economics, and the New Statesman - which flourish to this day. Their work is central to understanding change in twentieth century British politics and society.
