Issued as part of UPCC book collections on Project MUSE.

In this volume, Dave Cope provides an exhaustive list of materials published by, and in relation to, the Communist Party of Great Britain. No attempt has been made previously to create such a comprehensive listing for any left-wing organisation in Britain.The extensive introduction offers an entry point to the reference text that follows; among other areas Cope explores how written material on and by the CPGB was distributed, describing its heritage, and offers the first overview of the artists and designers who worked on this material. Andy Croft discusses the representations in fiction of imaginary and real CP members; Bert Hogenkamp lists documentary films featuring the CP and discusses the film companies behind them; and Kevin Morgan discusses past and current approaches to the history of the CPGB.Many of the entries in the bibliography are annotated, especially those concerning lesser known activists. This new book replaces an earlier online version of the bibliography from 2008. It contains many more entries, as well as some corrections and more annotations. Often drawing out previously lost or unacknowledged materials, as well as providing the fullest list of materials to date, this bibliography represents an essential reference volume for any research on the Communist Party in Britain and it sheds new light on the political and cultural life of the left in Britain in the twentieth century.
