Many people have given generously of their time and advice in the preparation of this book. The following people consented to interviews during the course of my research: Mrs M.I. Cole, Sir G.N. Clark, Mr M.B. Reckitt, Mrs Frida Laski, Mr R. Page Arnot, Dr John Bowlby, Mrs Lucy Middleton, the late Sir Richard Rees, and the late Mr Leonard Woolf. Mrs Middleton, Mr Michael Vyvyan, and Lady Allen of Hurtwood granted me permission to consult valuable private papers in their possession.

Permission to cite from unpublished manuscript material has been granted from: the Passfield Trustees, for the Passfield Papers; the General Secretary of the Labour Party, for the party archives at Transport House; the Master and Fellows of Balliol College, for the A.L. Smith Papers; Mrs M.I. Cole, for the Cole Papers and Bedford Collection at Nuffield College, Oxford; the Society of Authors, for the Shaw Papers; the British Library of Political and Economic Science, for the Beveridge Papers, Lansbury Papers, and the City of London ILP Papers; the Trustees of the Beaverbrook Library, for the Lloyd George Papers; and the Fabian Society, for the Fabian Society Papers, at Nuffield College, Oxford. Transcripts of Crown copyright records in the Public Record Office appear by permission of the Controller of H.M. Stationery Office.

Mrs Eirene Wagner of the Labour Party Library gave me invaluable help in the exploration of the party archives at Transport House. Mr C.G. Allen of the British Library of Political and Economic Science has been a constant help, as have been the staffs of the British Museum, the Institute of Historical Research, the Public Record Office, and the Cambridge University Library.

The editors of Past & Present, the Historical Journal, and the Journal of Contemporary History have kindly allowed me to incorporate in this book material which has been published in their respective journals.

The criticisms and suggestions of Dr H.M. Pelling were of the highest value throughout my research. The late Professor D.M. Joslin first directed my attention to Tawneys ideas and encouraged me at many difficult points. His tragically early death is a heavy loss to me and to many other people who knew him as a kind counsellor and friend. Professor Fritz Sterns influence on my work will be apparent to all who have had the privilege of his friendship and advice. Many other people have taken the time to read and comment on various drafts of this book. Among them are: Professor G.S. Simpson, Professor G.R. Elton, Mr Negley Harte, Professor Jonathan Malino, Mrs Sara Malino, Professor F.J. Fisher, Professor R.K. Webb, Professor J.L. Talmon, Professor Royden Harrison, Professor Ralph Miliband, Mr Joe Lee, Mrs Jose Harris, Dr Ben-Ami Shiloni, Professor Emmanuel Sivan, Mr Harvey Mendelsohn, Mr John Hutcheson, and, not least, my parents. My wife patiently shared the years that went into this book. Only with her encouragement and support was it possible to complete it.

My students in Jerusalem did more than they know to help me clarify my ideas. A scholarship from the London Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem helped me to extend my research, and a grant from the Faculty of Humanities of the same university helped to defray typing costs. Mr Andrew Wheatcrofts help in seeing this book through the press was invaluable.
