Notes
Covers 1937-2002. Founded in 1937 as a radical and left-wing newspaper offering a fresh and independent perspective on world political affairs, the paper's declared mission was to recreate the Labour Party in Britain as a truly socialist organisation. This mission soon brought the paper's editorial board, which has included the likes of Gollancz, Cripps, Bevan, Strauss, Wilkinson, Harold Laski and Noel Brailsford and William Mellor, into conflict with Clement Attlee and subsequent leaders of the Party. Over the years, it has retained its influence over left-wing political debate, and so remained a constant thorn in the side of the Labour Party's leadership. Of particular note among the numerous eminent writers and political commentators whose literary talents it has hosted, are George Orwell (see ref. R97606), who became its literary editor in the 1940's, the outspoken Barbara Castle, formerly a Labour Cabinet minister, and Michael Foot, erstwhile leader of the Labour Party.
An essential resource for research into the socialist political debate in Britain, this publication is also available on CD-ROM (ref D97607).
