About Henry Hyndman

  • Henry Mayers Hyndman (; 7 March 1842 – 20 November 1921) was an English writer and politician.
  • Originally a conservative, he was converted to socialism by Marx’s Communist Manifesto, and launched Britain’s first left-wing political party, the Democratic Federation, later known as the Social Democratic Federation, in 1881.
  • Although this body attracted radicals such as William Morris and George Lansbury, Hyndman was generally disliked as an authoritarian who could not unite his party.
  • He was the first author to popularise Marx’s works in English.
