An Unlikely Socialist
商品資訊
商品簡介
This highly readable book examines an overlooked pioneer of British and Australian socialism and women's suffrage, together with individual portraits of five significant women who help unravel the paradox of his life.
Born into PrivilegeAt first blush, Henry Hyde Champion was the very antithesis of a socialist. A descendent of Scottish nobility, his family traced their origins to Hereditary Sheriffs of the Norman Conquest. Schooled at Marlborough College, he entered the Royal Regiment of Artillery at Woolwich and, like his father before him, was commissioned into the British Army. He served in India and Afghanistan and a promising career beckoned.
Dramatic AwakeningOn leave in England, a friend took him to see the overcrowded and squalid slums of London's East End. He resigned his commission and became a founding member of the Social Democratic Federation. His radical activities led to the Trafalgar Square Riots and the Great London Dock Strike. Disillusioned after his wife's death during his trial, he became a thorn in the side of radicals when he demanded the creation of a new, independent party that would work for the interests of labour.
