演講摘要 (Abstract)
The talk will begin with some autobiographical reflections on coming from the West of Scotland in the 1950s, and the different influences from my mother’s and father’s sides of the family. It will be suggested that a large part of my disagreement with the paradigms which were dominant in the field of labour history when I began my research was due to coming from the northern industrial city of Glasgow when most of the other academics came from the south of England. I will then outline the course that my research on the British shipbuilding industry took, indicating the difficulties and opportunities connected with different types of sources; and summarizing the main findings about changes in the workplace, trade union organisation and popular politics in Britain between the 1870s and the 1950s.

The talk will then broaden out to include my work in collaboration with other scholars and my latest book, a collection of essays on Alternatives to State-Socialism in Britain edited with Professor Peter Ackers of de Montfort University. Collaborating with others has allowed me to develop some bold long-term themes about the nature of popular politics in the UK, particularly the hitherto largely neglected contribution of liberal radicalism up to the First World War, and its continuation thereafter in the form of twentieth-century liberal pluralism. I will then give an overview of what these new essays have to say about aspects of labour organisation (including trade unions, the cooperative movement, working-class women activists and the Nonconformist Protestant churches); labour leadership (including the progressive employer Edward Cadbury alongside the important trade unionists Walter Citrine and Frank Chapple); and leading labour intellectuals (including G.D.H. Cole and Michael Young). On this basis, some suggestions will be made about a way forward for the British Labour Party today.
