At Oxford in The Twenties

Hugh Gaitskell

Chapter (ii) in Essays in Labour History, 1960, pp 6-19 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Oxford in the middle twenties was gay, frivolous, stimulating, and tremendously alive. The political and economic anxieties of the immediate post-war years were over. The gloom of the Great Depression and the horrors of the Nazis were yet to come. Nobody had heard of Hitler. The Spanish Civil War was ten years off. Mussolini had strutted on to the stage but was regarded as only a minor blot. There were still hopes that the League of Nations might work.
