Reviews for The Making of British Socialism
Bevir challenges both the old historiography of socialism and current conceptions of socialism based upon the older views... Bevir accomplishes a good portion of his goals through a well-structured, closely argued text that incorporates the work of recent historians as well as the views of Marxists, Fabians, and moral socialists of the period of primary focus... A valuable resource.
