Synopsis

Holyoake was a classic example of Gramsci's working-class organic intellectual.  An Owenite social missionary, he became a Radical Liberal, Secularist and Co-operator, responsible for the legend of the Rochdale Pioneers.  A journalist, thinker, multiple joiner and promoter of freedom in many settings, Holyoake was also a highly-readable stylist.  An influential 19th century public figure, his life and work have recently been neglected among co-operators as by well historians. The case for reviving work on his ideas is powerful.
