William Morris and E. Belfort Bax
Socialism from the Root Up
Socialism from the Root Up was written jointly by William
Morris and E. Belfort Bax as a series to introduce the ideas of
contemporary “scientific” socialism to the readers of Commonweal
at a time when many of the basic texts were either hard to obtain or
had only been published in other languages. The series was published
episodically between 1886 and 1888: a historical section in 1886, an
introduction to Das Kapital in 1887, and a vision of current
and future tendencies in Socialism in 1888.
Morris and Bax revised the series as the basis of the book
Socialism: Its Growth and Outcome, published in 1893.
Socialism From The Root Up was transcribed by
Adam Moran for the
William Morris Internet Archive, a subarchive of the
Marxists Internet Archive, in
July 1998.
