The "Political Quarterly" was founded in 1930 by Kingsley Martin, William Robson and Leonard Woolf, with help from George Bernard Shaw. The journal was intended to be a bridge between specialists, experts and the general public, discussing the great problems of the day from a progressive perspective, writing at a demanding intellectual level but always in plain English. This book sets The Political Quarterly in the context of its day and the unusual collaboration, for almost 30 years, of Woolf and Robson. The book also shows how the journal mirrored the concerns of the 1930s and 1940s, and includes a brief history of how a small but influential publication is run.
