Page "New Left" Paragraph 5

In Britain, the journal New Left Review was founded in 1960, representing a theoretical synthesis of a revisionist, humanist, and socialist Marxism, departing from orthodox Marxist theory.

This publishing effort made the ideas of culturally oriented theorists available to an undergraduate reading audience.

In this early period, many on the New Left were involved in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, formed in 1957.

According to Robin Blackburn, " The decline of CND by late 1961, however, deprived the New Left of much of its momentum as a movement, and uncertainties and divisions within the Board of the journal led to the transfer of the Review to a younger and less experienced group in 1962.
