The Anglo-Marxists

In this book, Edwin Roberts provides a comparative intellectual history of the development of Marxist theory in Great Britian, concentrating on the years between the Great Depression and the Cold War. Roberts argues that during this period there developed among university-educated intellectuals a distinctively Anglicized form of Marxist theory that prefigured the analytical Marxism so prominent in the English-speaking world today. Roberts' important book explores this school_a precursor to contemporary analytical Marxism_examining key figures such as Haldane and Bernal and providing readers with a compelling argument for the significance of Anglo-Marxism in the tradition of Marxist thought.
