Fabian Society

The Fabian Society is a British socialist intellectual movement best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning in the late 19th century and then up to World War I. The society laid many of the foundations of the Labour Party in this time-period and is still in existence today. Similar societies exist in Australia (see Australian Fabian Society) and New Zealand.
