Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Collection of 63 publications, including 25 numbered pamphlets (ca 12-32pp each) and 38 leaflets (1-16pp each). Generally ca 20cm x 14cm, with slight variations; printed paper wrappers. Variable light to moderate wear, but complete, Good or better overall. A comprehensive collection of materials published under the auspices of the Union of Democratic Control, a British political advocacy group which sought, during the years of the First World War and its aftermath, to increase the role of democratic processes and parliamentary control in British government, especially with regards to its foreign relations. During the Great War, the UDC stopped short of outright pacifism; after 1918, the organization plotted a more intentionally anti-war course, ultimately publishing its pacifist manifesto, Arthur Ponsonby's Now is the Time, in 1925 (not included here). The Union's members included many of the most prominent liberal and labour politicians and intellectuals of the era, including Arthur Ponsonby, Bertrand Russell, Norman Angell, Ramsay MacDonald, and others. Given the prominence of its members, the Union exerted considerable influence on British foreign policy in the interwar period, and though its influence waned steeply after the Thirties, the Union survived well into the post-WW2 era, finally dissolving in 1966. While UDC publications are not generically rare, this is the largest collection of their publications we have encountered at one time, offering a representative view of the group's political advocacy over its most active period. A catalog of the collection follows (all published London: Union of Democratic Control unless otherwise specified). Pamphlet Series: 1. The Morrow of the War. 16pp. n.d. (1914) 2. Angell, Norman.
