'Socialism' names a form of collective life that has never been fully realized; consequently, it is best understood as a goal to be imagined. This study locates an aesthetic impulse that animates some of the most consequential socialist writing, thought, and practice of the long nineteenth century. This volume explores this tradition of radical activism, investigating the diverse ways that British socialists - from Robert Owen to the mid-century Christian Socialists to William Morris - marshalled the resources of the aesthetic in their efforts to surmount 'politics' and develop non-governmental forms of collective life.
