Political Pilgrim in Europe

Mrs. Philip Snowden

Political Pilgrim in Europe

Political Pilgrim in Europe

Mrs. Philip Snowden

In the shattered aftermath of the Great War, one woman crossed a broken continent seeking to rebuild what bombs had destroyed. Ethel Snowden, Viscountess, socialist, feminist, and unwavering pacifist, was an improbable pilgrim: an aristocrat who believed in workers' revolution, a British gentlewoman who traveled to revolutionary Russia specifically to condemn Bolshevism, a pacifist in an age when most of her class were jingoists. Her journey through 1920s Europe, from the scarred fields of the Somme to the neon-soaked cafés of Weimar Berlin, from the barricades of Budapest to the newly silent avenues of Vienna, offers something vanished: a first-hand account by someone equally at home in drawing rooms and strike meetings, equally critical of Allied hypocrisy and Bolshevik brutality. She witnessed a continent caught between the old world's death rattle and the new world's uncertain birth. This is not nostalgia. It is a document of what it meant to believe politics was personal, that nations could heal, that one person's voice might matter.
