- W2079998063 abstract "John Saville was one of the most important Marxist historians of the postwar period. Unlike many of his generation he remained unflinching in his commitment to the traditions of the British and European Left which shaped him, while remaining a rigorous scholar of the economic and social history of Britain and Europe. He was born John Stamatopoulos in Lincolnshire, the son of a Lincolnshire woman, Edith Vessey, and a Greek man who was called up into the Greek army and killed in 1916. His mother remarried in the early 1920s and John grew up in south London with his mother and stepfather, a master tailor, whose name he subsequently took. In 1934 he won a scholarship and a place at the London School of Economics (LSE), to study economics. In his autobiography Memoirs from the Left Saville claims he did very little work in his first two years but made up for it working sixteen hours a day in his third and duly earned an outstanding First. Equally important though was Saville’s conversion to Communism at this time. From a sporting and essentially non-political background he found himself at the LSE, ‘mixing with students who were politically on the Left, middle of the road Labour to communists’.1 To Saville it seemed natural, given Labour’s record of betrayal in 1931, that the rising menace of fascism at home and abroad could only be met by a new and more vigorous left party, and the only party which filled that role was the Communist Party. Having joined he became an activist, taking part in most of the major London political movements of the mid and late 1930s. He casually remarks in his memoirs that Cable Street ‘was my last political activity until after finals, although I very occasionally took a day off, as when the hunger marchers arrived in Hyde Park …’.2" @default.
