POLITICAL SHAKESPEARE

Dollimore, Jonathan

SINFIELD, ALAN

This biography examines the ideas and political career of perhaps the most significant and influential American Marxist in the period 1890-1914. The text examines how De Leon, as leader of the Socialist Labour Party, and editor of its journal, the "Daily People", played a key role in the development of the early American Marxist socialist movement. The author describes a complex and committed Marxist thinker who refused to compromise his belief that capitalism had to be abolished. He traces De Leon's career from joining the SLP in 1890, through his relationship with the American Federation of Labour. He also explores De Leon's influence on other thinkers such as Lenin, and assesses his role in the failure of socialism to take root in the USA.

Biographies & Memoirs

This book is one of a series of original biographies of leading figures in the European and North American socialist and labour movements. The series is intended for students of history and politics and anyone interested in the development of the Left. For the generation which lived through the Depression of the 1930s and World War II, Harry Pollitt was the epitome of British Communism. In this critical biography, Kevin Morgan tells Pollitt's story, from his origins in the mill-town of Droylsden near Manchester, through his tumultuous years as General Secretary of the British Communist party from 1929 to 1956, to his ultimate disillusionment with the Stalinist project in the wake of Krushchev's revelations. The book reveals how much of Pollitt's life confirms preconseptions about Communism in Britain. The Comintern agents and Moscow gold, the political somersaults and conclaves with Stalin: all are documented. However, it also shows how powerful convictions rather than political expediency underlay Pollitt's actions. This book draws on primary archival research and on interviews witrh Communists who knew Pollitt well.
