About the Publisher
We started life through the merger of Martin Lawrence, the Communist Party's press and Wishart Ltd, a family-owned liberal and anti-fascist publisher. The late 1930s were a time of political and cultural turmoil, and the new press was immersed in the political and cultural life of the Popular Front, publishing literature, drama and poetry, as well as political economy, working-class history and the classics of Marxism New Writing, a twice-yearly L&W anthology, published writers such as W.H.Auden, Ralph Fox, Christopher Isherwood and Cecil Day Lewis.
