Tietoja minusta I started out as an historian with a PhD in late nineteenth century British history but have since worked in the area of social policy. I do occasional teaching in this subject.

Tietoja kirjastostani My library had to be re-created from the time I left Britain and sold all the books I'd been collecting up to that point - including all my undergraduate books. I sometimes try and replace them.
The most interesting works are those I collected for my thesis and are by Edward Carpenter, William Morris and the early socialists.

I am one of those increasingly rare people on LibraryThing who actually own all the books listed here.

Hi, I found your library becuse we both hve 'The Mattress Actress'. I was surprised by your comment that most people on here don't own all the books they list. I have certainly read many more books than I own, but only list the ones I currently have in my possession. I was surprised to read that this is not the norm.

Hi Mandy, Thanks for the message. I'm busy catalogiuing my library now - just started really, so who knows what else may pop up (tho my scanner has gone a bit wonky) Sally

Hi there, I just posted a cover picture for Rediscovery, which is in your library!

Thank you for the recommendation. I have the McKenzie's biography of Wells (not yet catalogued and so much better than the one by David G. Smith) but I wasn't aware that they had written anything on the Fabian. I shall be sure to check it out.

I came across you library because you also have Jennifer Isaac's Australian Aboriginal Paintings (actually my wife's). I noticed from your profile that your thesis was on Early English socialists. Could you recommend a good history of the Fabians? I am especially interested in the relationship between Shaw and Wells.

Thaks for the comment about 'Britain betwen the wars'. Having served as an British army chaplain for 25 years until 2002 I am fascinated by the social understanding of the last century. My main interest is the interaction of the Christian community and war but I so try to look at it in the widest possible context. Rather ground to a halt putting books on this marvellous site as other things make life busy. Hope when the rest are on there may be others of interest.

Thanks for your suggestion of "Tearing the Veil". I look forward to reading it.

My wife knew of the Andover bone scandal from her undergraduate history; I knew the workhouse itself in its later life as St John's Hospital, in my time working for the NHS in the area; and we live near by. So a nicely connected book.

I asked about the Edgar pamphlet because I really like his book The Second Time as Farce, which I suspect includes the contents of that pamphlet. I couldn't imagine how one would find a copy unless you were "there when it happened," so to speak; and it seems you were.

Lähettänyt: grunin 6:03 pm (EST) Aug 25, 2006

My hat's off to you -- where on Earth did you find a copy of David Edgar's Racism, Fascism and the Politics of the National Front?

Lähettänyt: grunin 10:09 am (EST) Aug 24, 2006

Thanks for checking - I know nothing about that author and was going by what was in my local university library catalogue which obviously has a later edition than yours. I have also asked the person who entered Peter Rabbit by "Beatrice" Potter to edit her copy back to Beatrix so hopefully that will fix it and the system will stop suggesting combining Beatrice and Beatrix Potter.
Take care - Jane (LT:tardis)

You noted that we both have "Socialism and the New Life" by Rowbotham and Weeks in our librraies and that the book was ttruly inspiring to you. To me too. It opened new vistas of reserach in English socialism to me by pulling together people with whose work I was familiar but presenting them in a new and meaningful. context, adding missing dimensions to the evolution of socialist thought and practice.
