This book is the first full-length study of a unique figure in British and Quaker history whose career and integrity illuminates peace and war, religion and politics in the first half of the twentieth century
T. Edmund Harvey (1875–1955) is a unique figure, a Quaker who was a member of the British parliament in both world wars. He began as a Liberal Radical MP under Asquith and ended as an Independent Progressive in Churchill’s wartime Parliament. He was a child of the Quaker Renaissance, a post-Victorian Christian gentleman whose religious and political life coincided with the era in Quaker history of ‘liberalism ascendant’, an era he helped shape. Harvey’s career evinces a fourfold typology of British Quakers, as liberals, socialists, anarchists and experientialists.
