Lloyd","description":"Folk singer and folk music collector, writer, painter, journalist, art critic, whalerman, sheep station roustabout, Marxist, and much more - this is the story of A. L. (Bert) Lloyd's extraordinary life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA. L. Lloyd played a key part in the folk music revival of the 1950s and 60s, but that is only part of his story. Dave Arthur documents how Lloyd became a member of the Communist Party, forceful antifascist, trade unionist and an important part of left-wing culture from the early 1930s to his death in 1982. Following his return from Australia as a 21-year-old, self-educated agricultural labourer, he was at the heart of the most important left-wing movements and highly respected for his knowledge in various fields. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDave Arthur recounts the life of a creative, passionate and life-loving Marxist, and in so doing provides a social history of a turbulent twentieth century.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183443853552,"sku":"9781849646710","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849646710_p0.jpg?v=1763753230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849646710","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
