Arvidsson - The Style and Mythology of Socialism: Socialist Idealism, 1871-1914

This section is divided into (I) Sources, and (II) Scholarly literature. The former is in its turn divided into (1) American socialism (2) British socialism, where the majority of the sources concerning Christian socialism are found; (3) Other socialist sources, and (4) Additional sources. Scholarly literature is divided into (1) American socialism, (2) British socialism, (3) Social, cultural and intellectual history of socialism, (4) Utopianism, (5) Ideology and on myth, and (6) Additional scholarly literature.

There exist today a wide range of digitalized texts. I have often used the reliable Marxist Internet Archive (MIA) for older articles. The fact that references to page numbers are absent in certain cases is not a problem, since the articles are short and searchable (www.marxists.org). All digital sources were checked on February 1, 2017.

I Sources

1 American socialism

Adelphon Kruptos

• (A) Agenda. In Arcana. Handwritten and annotated text in a notebook from sometime between 1869 and 1874. The author is probably Uriah Smith Stephens. The original is found in The Papers of Terence V. Powderly at the Catholic University of America (Washington, DC).
• (B1) Adelphon Kruptos published in Commons et al. (1958). This Manual, not dated is probably identical to the text by Stephens which was officially adopted at the K of Ls second meeting on December 28, 1869. The text is identical with C but precedes it, since the correction by Powderly of gold to wealth that C contains and which later was adopted at the General Assembly is not found in B1.
• (B2) In the collection put together by Commons et al. (1958) there is also an encrypted text called Founding ceremony (From a Manual, not dated) which is missing in C. A profaned and heavily altered version is on the other hand included in D. The encryption key, made by Charles H. Lichman, is included.

Versions of Adelphon Kruptos

• (C) Adelphon Kruptos . Typewritten version which according to the handwriting on the cover page has belonged to Terence V. Powderly and has his corrections in the margins which are commented upon in Powderly (1940: 50f.). The original is kept in The Papers of Terence V. Powderly at the Catholic University of America (Washington, DC). An incomplete digitalized version may be found on the universitys website: cuomeka.wrlc.org/exhibits/show/knights/kol-docs/kol-doc-2.
• (D) Knights of Labor Illustrated: Adelphon Kruptos, the Full, Illustrated Ritual Including the Unwritten Work and an Historical Sketch of the Order . Chicago, IL: Ezra A. Cook, 1886. From the collection at the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam (Bro Am 1948/452). The same version exists in a very substandard facsimile edition published by Nabu Press in 2010. D was originally published by opponents of the K of L. Since it is consistent with versions B and C, albeit profaned, it appears to be authentic.
• (E) Adelphon Kruptos. Cette publication renferme les rgles qui gouvernent les sances des Chevaliers du travail au Canada. French translation by Knights of Labor Illustrated (1886). Available digitalized at Open Library (openlibrary.org/books/OL24636670M/Adelphon_Kruptos).
