Summary

This book reveals how a fledgling Fabian journal came to play a key role in the growth of the modern Labour Party. Placing the early New Statesman in the context of its eight turbulent decades as a flagship of the Left, the book compares the magazine's first journalists with later generations of editors and writers, right up to the present day. By drawing upon interviews with survivors, and a wide range of public and personal papers, the author rediscovers the early - and lasting - importance of the British Left's best-known and most resilient magazine.
