HAROLD LASKI
Typed Letter signed on letterhead of the London School of Economics (1936), agreeing to write an article, but not until after the end of the school term
Typed Letter signed: "H. J. Laski", 1 page, 5x8. London, 1936 May 8. On letterhead of the London School of Economics and Political Science to "Dear Miss Smith". In full: "I will try during the summer to do you a piece. It must, I fear, wait until then as I am very busy during the term. Yours sincerely". Harold Joseph Laski (1893-1950) was an influential British political theorist, author and lecturer who taught at the London School of Economics for three decades (1920-1950), while also teaching for short periods at several US universities. A leader of the Fabian Society and of the Left Book Club, Laski was a Marxist who tried to reconcile that ideology with his commitment to civil liberties and representative government. Active in the Labour Party in the 1920s and again in the 1940s, he spent the intervening years trying to form new political movements of a more radical bent. He declined invitations to run for office or serve in government, but was Chairman of the Labour Party in 1945-1946 until roundly criticized by Labour Prime Minister Harold Atlee for meddling in foreign policy. An early advocate of Indian independence, Laski's thought greatly influenced that nation's leaders, many of whom had been his students at the LSE. Horizontal fold. Lightly creased and toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
