Finally, English nationalism or Anglo-Saxonism, so powerful an ideological phenomenon during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, to some extent insulated British socialists from a ready acceptance or submission to socialist currents originating from the continent. The political and ideological impacts of organizations like the Marxian Henry Hyndman’s Social Democratic Federation (1883), which exhibited its founder’s hostility to trade unionism, William Morris’s “patrician” Socialist League (1885), and the Socialist Labour Party (c.1900) inspired by the visionary American intellectual Daniel DeLeon, were of only indirect significance. — Cedric J.
