Woodburn was prominent within the labour movement and the Labour Party, but unlike many of his contemporaries his autobiography was never published at the time. It records his Edinburgh childhood, his route to socialism, his imprisonment as a conscientious objector during the First World War, educational and journalistic activities as well as his official roles in the Labour Party and government during the 1930s and 40s. This volume provides a clear annotated modern edition of Woodburn's text, together with a full scholarly introduction explaining the historical significance of the autobiography and Woodburn himself"--Provided by publisher's website. 600 10 $a Woodburn, Arthur. 610 20 $a Labour Party (Great Britain) $x Biography. 610 20 $a Independent Labour Party (Great Britain) $x History. 650 0 $a Labor movement $z Scotland $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Socialism $z Scotland $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Socialists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working class $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Working class $x History. $z Scotland $x History. 700 1 $a Pentland, Gordon, $e editor. 773 18 $w 990007342320202771 $g v:12 $g v:12 830 0 $a Scottish History Society (Series) ; $v 6th ser., v. 12. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710072121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1C2BAFEFDAF11E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
