Description

Sidney and Beatrice Webb are the most important British contributors to the socialist tradition. They had a hand in founding many of the institutions that form the fabric of British society notably the Fabian society, the Labour Party, the London School of Economics, "The New Statesman", the "Political Quarterly" and "Tribune". This biography of the Webbs was commissioned by the Passfield Trustees. This life of the "oddest couple since Adam and Eve" differs from previous studies in considering their literary and institution building accomplishments and not just their personal idiosyncrasies.
