A Scholarly Life
For peace and defence of the Soviet Union’
This prosopographical investigation of the Central Committee (CC) of the British Communist Party during the Popular Front era analyses the origins, occupations, political careers and destinations of the 47 Communists who served on the CC in these years. The transition from Third Period leftism to class collaboration found minimal reflection in the characteristics of the Communist leadership, which remained in line with those of the preceding coho…
Class Against Class’
A prosopographical survey employed statistical analysis of data detailing the origins, occupations, prior affiliations, political careers and destinations of the 66 leading Communists who served on the Central Committee (CC) of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) during the Comintern’s Third Period, 1928–1934. There was significant innovation in composition: consonant with transformed politics, around 62% of CC representatives were newcom…
The leadership of British Communism, 1923–1928
The importance of leadership in awakening and guiding the working class was emphasised at all levels within the parties which saw themselves as indispensable to socialist revolution. It was fundamental to the philosophy of the Bolsheviks, the Comintern and the early British Communist Party (CPGB). The executive committee (EC) which directed the work of members was broadly representative of the CPGB leadership. The 39 activists who served on the E…
The ‘core’ leaders of the Communist Party of Great Britain, 1923–1928
Building on a previous study of the executive committee (EC) of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) in the 1920s, the 19 activists who formed the ‘core’ of the party leadership – a category defined by service on four or more of the five committees elected between 1923 and 1928 – were analysed. Biographical material and statistical data were utilized to explore their origins, age, occupation, education, earlier allegiances, party experienc…
The early British Communist leaders, 1920–1923
The members of its governing Executive Committee constituted the national leadership of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Prosopographical analysis which employs both quantitative and qualitative methods is utilized to explore the origins; age; education; occupations; experience and affiliation; party career; and destination of 47 of 48 members of the committee who held office between 1920 and 1923. The survey presents, in many cases for the …
Bolshevism, Stalinism and the Comintern
‘Bolshevization’ and ‘Stalinization’ have been used variously by historians of American and British Communism to designate and date the processes by which the Comintern and national parties were subordinated to Soviet policy. Despite their pervasive influence on the American and British left, this literature reveals little curiosity or consensus about the politics of Bolshevism and Stalinism, their history and relationship, indeed, these labels h…
The Trojan Horse’
Entrism – the infiltration of political organisations by competitors – is typically associated with Trotskyism. Large-scale Communist entrism in the British Labour Party has been neglected by historians and reference in the literature is slight and impressionistic. Archival material permits reconstruction of a sustained attempt by the Comintern and British Communists to subvert Labour Party policy between 1933 and 1943. Documenting the developmen…
The Last Chance Saloon? The Independent Labour Party and Miners’ Militancy in the Second World War Revisited
The second world war witnessed widespread conflict in British industry, notably in mining. We review the role of the Independent Labour Party (ILP), a small revolutionary socialist organization, focusing on its work in the trade unions. Its development is discussed in the light of recent claims that, with the Communist Party (CP) pledged to national unity after Hitler’s invasion of Russia, the ILP generated and harnessed militancy in the mines ar…

The National Unemployed Workers' Movement and the Communist Party of Great Britain Revisited
Existing literature on the National Unemployed Workers' Movement (NUWM) in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s charts high politics and local struggles. Historians have generally acknowledged Communist influence and participation in the organisation, but remain divided on the intention and ability of the Communist Party (CPGB) to control it. Judgements have typically been based on NUWM records, evidence from party publications and partisan reminiscenc…
For Their Own Good
This article arose from the author's experiences as a researcher exploring children's reactions to their parents' separation. Between 1999 and 2004, the author undertook to find out what a sample of Australian children thought of their abilities to participate in decisions that directly affected them following family breakdown. Before beginning the project, the author was required to obtain ethical approval from the university to which he was att…

The Last Word on Communism
British Students at the International Lenin School
This paper is a response to the rejoinder by Gidon Cohen and Kevin Morgan to a critique of their article on British students at the International Lenin School (ILS) in Moscow which appeared in a recent issue of Twentieth Century British History. It develops the criticism of their data and research methods, and the revised results and conclusions they derive from them, while taking issue with their approach to historical argument. It demonstrates …
The British and French Representatives to the Communist International, 1920–1939
This article employs a prosopographical approach in examining the backgrounds and careers of those cadres who represented the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Parti Communiste Français at the Comintern headquarters in Moscow. In the context of the differences between the two parties, it discusses the factors which qualified activists for appointment, how they handled their role, and whether their service in Moscow was an element in future…
A Reply to Critics
Forging the Faithful
The International Lenin in School in Moscow trained British Communists for leadership positions from 1926 to 1937. This article relates the school and its programmes to their context, the development of Stalinism in Russia and the Russification of the Third International and its affiliates. It explores the organization and regime of the school, its purposes, pedagogy and curriculum. It provides for the first time a detailed listing of British stu…
Is CPGB History Important? A Reply to Harriet Jones
Histories of the British Communist Party
The British Communist Party continues to attract the attention of historians who have produced divergent assessments of its politics, organization, personnel and activities. This article critically reviews the literature: the concentration is on detailed studies which have appeared since the 1980s. It scrutinizes the apologetic literature produced by party historians prior to, and in response to, the critical studies which appeared from the late …
Party People, Communist Lives
This collection of biographical essays brings to life a diverse and colourful cavalcade of British revolutionaries from the first part of the 20th century. The cast includes pioneering women Communists, doughty trade union leaders and dusty apparatchiks, together with lawyers, poets, critics and the odd sexual outlaw. The book also depicts the tragic fate of groups of British Communists who encountered Stalinism at first hand in the USSR. Much of…

Notes on Euripides' Bacchae
Since 1944, attempts at progress in the interpretation of the text of the Bacchae must inevitably express themselves mainly in terms of respectful disagreement with Professor Dodds's edition published in that year. 20–24. Dodds's text was justly called in question by Kitto ( C.R . lx (1946), 65), but there is only one available remedy for this complex; those who work it out for themselves will find that they had been anticipated by Wecklein in hi…

Recent discussion of the problems associated with glacie has been copious. It has arisen ( C.R . lii. 56) out of Housman's note, which runs as follows: ‘ glacie nemini, quantum scio, praeterquam mini et Schradero et Hadriano Valesio admirationem mouit: ceteris exploratum est frigore pisces maculosos fieri, eos praesertim qui torrentem cloacam, locum frigidissimum, penetrare soleant.’ In his 1931 reprint he added (p. xlvi): ‘Ruperti took exception…

Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1227–30
Cassandra speaking. The first of these lines is not in dispute; the three which follow are notorious; they are subjoined as in the manuscripts, with punctuation to mark the ostensible construction: ε δ ἔπαρχος Ίλίοʊ τ άναστάτης ούκ οἶδεν οἶδ уλσσα μισητς κʊѵòς λέξασα καì κτείνασα φαιδρόνοʊς, δίκην ἄτης λαθραίοʋ τεύξεται κακῇ τύχῃ
Some Simple Facts Apropos Theocritus I. 51
In the last number of C.Q. (XXV., p. 207) Mr. A. D. Knox has drawn up a list of Theocriteans who, he suggests, ‘have all of them made the most elementary mistake’ of failing to consider the possibility at least that it is the Boy, and not the Fox, who is the subject of καθξῃ in Id. I. 51. From that list he will have to with-draw two names, Gow and Campbell. This construction, which Mr. Knox propounds as a novelty, had been suggested by Mr. Gow in…
Ausoniana
I n C.Q. XXVII. 178–181 Mr. S. G. Owen has raised some interesting questions, but it may be doubted whether he has in every case discovered the correct solution. Panntalia 30, 6: quaeque sine exemplo in nece functa uiri. Mr. Owen's pronece removes the hiatus, but I think has no other merit. The sense ‘a death for a death,’ even if not necessarily or best represented by repetition of the same term, is at least not happily represented by such combi…
Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1148
‘A sweet life without lamentation’ renders Mr G. Thomson, who discusses the passage in C.Q. XXVIII 74 f. That is beyond question what this Greek will naturally and properly mean; if there were any doubt, his citations dispel it
Aeschylus Agamemnon 1223–38 and Treacherous Monsters
In C.Q. XXVI. 45–51 I contended that in Aesch. Agam . 1227–30 Cassandra describes Clytemnestra in terms of a Greek proverb, the proverb of the Treacherous Hound; and I restored the passage thus:— νεŵν δ' ἔπαρχоς 'Ιλ⋯оν τ' ⋯ναστ⋯της оὐκ оἶδεν оἵα γλŵσσα μισ⋯της κνν⋯ς λε⋯ξασα κα⋯ σ⋯νασα φα⋯δρ', оἷоν δ⋯κоς Ατης λαθρα⋯оν δ⋯ξεται κακῇ τ⋯χνῃ

Five Passages in Sophocles
On οὐδ ἄγγελός τίς κτλ. Jebb writes: ‘The sentence begins as if ἄγγελός were to be followed by ἤλθε:but the second alternative, συμπράκτωρ όδοû suggests κατεȋδε [had seen , though he did not speak ]: and this, by a kind of zeugma, stands as verb to ἃγγελος also.’ In support he cites only an atrocious zeugma from the MS. text of Hdt. iv. 106; but this has (and had) been corrected, as anyone may now see who will examine the text and apparatus of ch…

The defect was first pointe…

Sophoclea
I present first what I take to be a more interesting item than the others. O.C 716–19. δ' εὐρετμος ἔκπαγλ' λα χερ σ ✝παραπτομναπλτα θρῷσκει, τν κατομπδων νηρῄδων κλουθος. The above is Pearson's text, except that I have transferred the last syllable of his 716 to the beginning of my 717. Careful consideration of the metre of this stasimon has convinced me that 716 is rightly regarded by Schroeder as an ionic trimeter (what Pearson's line would be …
On the Cruces of Horace, Satires , 2. 2
The ‘ four famous cruces ’ (Gow, ed. p. 4) of this satire are as interesting as notorious. I regard the first as solved, since I cannot imagine anybody (Horace included) improving upon Postgate's line 13 (see below). But I find instead a hitherto undetected but quite palpable flaw in the opening words
Further Studies in Sophocles
‘ “I desire”’ Jebb, whose note I now take as read. In this and my ensuing discussion I seek to show that never has that meaning. The scholiast's note is a sophism, and Jebb's is another. Jebb says that the primary sense is to love ; he prudently leaves unstated the next step in the fallacy, that to love might mean to have just fallen in love with; and he concludes that poetry ‘could easily draw’ the sense to desire . Actually applies as between p…
Horace, Odes and Epodes
Sophocles, O.T . 220–1
In C.Q . N.s. iv (1954), 10–12, I gave an elaborate diagnosis of the morbid symptoms in sense and syntax of the traditional text. I then proposed , rendering ‘as I now am doing, without success’. Professor W. M. Edwards wrote to me that he accepted ‘this very helpful analysis of the trouble', but not my emendation, on the ground that O.'s admission of failure would be ‘a factual statement requiring ’

Sophocles' Trachiniae
That after that is just too ghastly. Jebb's citations are no parallels; the difference is that (‘as to which things’—J.) and (‘that prospect’—J.) have both precisely the same reference. Read ‘which reflections ... time-honoured as they are’. In this well-known construction a term (often substantive, sometimes adjective) which logically belongs to the antecedent is deferred and inserted in the relative clause—‘for emphasis’ (M. Tierney, rightly, o…
