Timeline

1930

His other books include Labour and the Left in the 1930s (1977), The Trade Unions in British Politics (with Chris Cook, 1982), Fabian Essays in Socialist Thought (1984), The Alternative (with Tony Wright and Tony Flower, 1990), Frustrate their Knavish Tricks (1994) and Governing London (with Nirmala Rao, 2002).

Many of Pimlott's theses have stood the test of time, even if they were marginally controversial when originally published.

His studies of the 1930s Labour left, the life of Harold Wilson and the constitutional effect of the monarchy in post-war Britain are said to have made his reputation as a biographer and even bestowed some additional credibility upon the subjects, all of which have received critical accounts under the pen of others.

Pimlott was a critic of the concept of the post-war consensus in British politics, and believed that no such consensus actually existed.
