Pease, Edward Reynolds

British political scientist

born Dec. 23, 1857, Henbury Hill, Dorset, Eng.

died Jan. 5, 1955, Limpsfield, Surrey

English writer and one of the founders of the Fabian Society.

Born to a prosperous family, Pease left a business career and joined with Frank Podmore, a spiritualist and socialist writer, to found the Fabian Society in London in January 1884. The Fabians sought a gradualist approach to socialism in Britain. Early members included such leading intellectuals as George Bernard Shaw, Beatrice and Sidney Webb, and Graham Wallas. Following the notions of William Morris, the socialist who stressed craftsmanship, Pease left the business world and became a cabinetmaker. In 1890 the Fabian Society hired Pease as a nominally paid part-time secretary. The following year the position became full-time and was held by Pease until 1913, when he became honorary secretary (until 1938). In 1900 he helped form the Labour Representation Committee, which became the Labour Party in 1906. He served on the Labour Party's executive, representing the Fabian Society, from 1900 to 1913.

Pease wrote The Case for Municipal Drink Trade (1904) and The History of the Fabian Society (1916; rev. ed., 1925).
