- W88450176 abstract "SHORTLY AFTER THE publication of my first book, Before The Socialists (1965), I was invited by Passfield Trustees to write authorized Life ofSidney and Beatrice Webb. As biographer I gave a high priority to what Beatrice called the Method of Interview. Yet I was unable to follow all her counsel-admirable as I took it to be. Thus, she insisted one should not annoy one's respondent by asking him about matters where his testimony was already available or otherwise superfluous. But what if respondent is advanced in years and ofuncertain health? Then delay which might have been courteous becomes imprudent. Accordingly, I interviewed early. On reflection, it seems right to have done so. If I am often visited by what Diderot called l'esprit d'escalier I do not reproach myself with opportunities wholly lost. On contrary, I cherish many remarkable memories even if they are of very marginal importance to Webbery; Clem AttIee being laconic beneath an immense tapestry of himself attired in robes of Order of Garter; Dame Margaret Cole shouting obscenities at some delinquent publisher across a Mayfair Restaurant; Ambassador Ivan Maisky coming specially into Moscow to an unnumbered flat in Gorky Street to tell me of Webbs and Stalin; Kingsley Martin becoming more and more scandalous gossip over Irish whiskey; Leonard Woolf trembling to imminent danger of his cup and saucer; Lady Simon of Wythenshawe's delight in Webb partnership and conviction respecting its usefulness; Professor Willy Robson requiring me to inform him about all references to himself in Webb diaries and my promising to do so even while I knew it to be quite impossible. (Sidney Webb regarded Robson as most boring man he had ever met.)" @default.
