Description: | This recording of "Hear a Word, a Word in Season" was distributed by the "New Leader" newspaper. The "New Leader" was associated with the Independent Labour Party, a grouping on the left of the main party. It was sung by John Goss under the pseudonym "Rufus John". The song was part of the work "Chants for Socialists" (1885) written by William Morris (1834-1896), an artist and designer active in the pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements. The song focuses on the virtue of the cause of the working classes, and the possible deaths of some of the workers in pursuing it. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | c1925 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
