The New Left is difficult to pin down. Its point of origin is clear, amid the profound political crises of 1956, but the movement was never defined by party or organisation and so its boundaries are imprecise. We hope this selection of articles will stimulate interest in the history of the New Left as well as highlighting the range of content in History Workshop Journal.
