The Letters of Sidney and Beatrice Webb: Volume 1, Apprenticeships 1873-1892
A collection of the Webbs correspondence.
A Victorian Courtship
The story of Beatrice potter and Sidney Webb.
Beatrice Webb
Beatrice Webb was born in 1858 into a wealthy family. However, she renounced society life to fight for the people of the abyss, venturing in disguise into the slums of the East End, and challenging Lloyd George in a campaign to abolish the workhouse. This book tells her story.
The Life and Times of Sidney and Beatrice Webb
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 is the first authorized biography of the Webbs 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.
The Diaries of Beatrice Webb
These diaries are a unique record of the times Beatrice Webb and her husband Sidney Webb lived in. They were at the centre of British intellectual and political life for nearly seventy years and this diary glitters with the great names of Edwardian society: Rosebery and Asquith, Churchill and Lloyd George, Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells, Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Bernard Shaw. It is also a remarkable revelation of the private face of one of the greatest British women of the past century. Rich in insights and anecdotes about the people and politics of late Victorian and early modern Britain: Beatrice was the mistress of salon politics. She devoted herself to the causes she and Sidney had at heart - the founding of the London School of Economics, trade unionism, local government, the war against poverty, and their books. The establishment of the Fabian Research Bureau in 1912 and the launching of the New Stateman were both her initiatives. The diary is also, finally, one of the most moving records of old age and dying published in the English language.
Beatrice Webb
This book is a biography of the life and achievements of Beatrice Webb, an English woman who was heavily involved in the socialist movement during the late 19th century. She and her husband, Sidney Webb, founded the Fabian Society, introduced Trade Unionism, Co-operation, and Socialism to social students, and founded the London School of Economics among a variety of other things. It includes both Webb's public and private life.
Our Partnership
This early work by Beatrice Webb was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Our Partnership' contains details on the wealth of topics that Beatrice and her husband, Sidney, worked on together. Beatrice Potter Webb was born in Gloucester, England in 1858. Educated at home by a governess, she also travelled widely and, due to this, gained a keen interest in sociology. Using the valuable resource of her father's library, studying became a passion, and she soon began to conduct her own sociological investigations. However, it was a time she spent with relatives in Lancashire, that Beatrice had her first glimpse of the working classes and their way of life. In 1913, along with her husband, Beatrice created the New Statesman, which grew to become an incredibly influential publication. They also founded the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1895. The Webb's, together, wrote eleven volumes of work which arguably shaped the way subsequent scholars thought about sociology.
