he Visible College is a collective
biography of five British scientists who
became committed socialists around the time
of the First World War
-
and stuck to that
commitment for the rest of their lives. Their
names
-
J. D.
Bernal,
J. B. S. Haldane,
Lancelot
Högben, Hyman
Levy and Joseph Needham
-
celebrated at the time, will be unfamiliar to
many younger readers. But from the mid-
Thirties to the mid-Fifties, through their
writing and through the publicity attached to
their own activities, these men were widely
recognized as some of the leading intellectuals
of their generation.
This book recounts the story of their lives
and, as they saw it, their times.
Their origins were extraordinarily diverse,
ranging from the aristocratically assured
upbringing of J.
B. S.
Haldane to the im¬
poverished working class home of Hyman
Levy. Yet from these contrasting backgrounds
emerged a group of men who were united in
their dedication to the causes of science and of
socialism.
Unity, however, did not mean sameness.
For within their company they each embraced
very different forms of scientific and socialist
practices. The Visible College dwells upon the
personal and political circumstances that led
each man to opt for his own particular brand
of scientific socialism .
The narrative is also laced with a number of
larger themes, including the fate of different
groups of radicalized intellectuals from the
1930s,
the politics of the Communist Party and
the role of science in a socialist society.
By skilfully wedding these topics to the
biographies of five highly individual personali¬
ties, The Visible College is an engrossing,
original and authoritative account of what it
meant to be a socialist and intellectual, at a
crucial point in British history.
Gary Werskey is a thirty-five-year-old
American who has lived in Britain since

Harvard University and has taught at
Edinburgh, Leicester and Bath Universities.
Currently he is a lecturer in the Industrial
Sociology Unit, Imperial College, University of
London. He has been a member of the British
Society for Social Responsibility in Science and
the Radical Science Journal s editorial collective.
