The Political Extremism and Radicalism program provides access to primary sources created by groups and movements considered to be unorthodox or outside of mainstream politics of that period. Users may come across content that they find upsetting such as journals, newsletters, publications, propaganda, or cartoons intended to induce hatred or violence towards a particular group due to their race, sexuality, beliefs, or other characteristics.
Equally some of the material in this database may not be considered extreme or radical by modern standards or in an individual’s opinion. Their inclusion reflects that they were considered unorthodox compared to the political norm at the time, reflects the compilation of the original collection from which they came or because they support wider research on a topic.
The nature and value of Gale Primary Sources archives is that they present artifacts as they existed, without manipulation by our editors. Gale resources don’t take a specific position on an issue or topic. We develop content with the guidance of scholars, subject matter specialists, and the academic community. Studying the historical context of a topic, including the potential prejudices or biases imposed by society or authors, allows students and researchers to engage in critical conversations, make important comparisons and connections, and enable greater understanding to inspire change and cross-cultural awareness.
This historical newspaper provides genealogists, researchers and scholars with online, easily-searchable first-hand accounts and unparalleled coverage of the politics, society and events of the time.

The Listener was a weekly magazine established by the BBC in 1929 under its director-general, Lord Reith. It was developed as the medium for reproducing broadcast talks, initially on radio, but in later years television as well, and was the intellectual counterpart to the BBC listings magazine Radio Times. The Listener is one of the few records and means of accessing the content of many early broadcasts. In addition to commenting on the intellectual broadcasts of the week, the Listener also previewed major literary and musical shows and regularly reviewed new books.
Over its sixty-two-year history, the Listener attracted the contributions of literary icons such as E. M. Forster, George Orwell, Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw, and Virginia Woolf. It also provided an important platform for new writers and poets, with W. H. Auden, Sylvia Plath, and Philip Larkin being notable examples.
Articles were diverse, with features on the death of King George V, a series of essays accompanying Sir Kenneth Clark's landmark art history show Civilization, interviews with authors such as Vladimir Nabokov, and the historian Geoffrey Elton writing on the decline of British universities in the 1960s. What united them was the BBC's cultural mission (as created by Reith) of educating the masses.
The Listener developed a reputation for outstanding writing, featuring contributions from the major writers, artists, social commentators and thinkers of the twentieth century. The Listener Historical Archive, 1929-1991 provides an invaluable resource for those researching the critical reception of visual arts and wider areas of culture from politics to science, and how the wider public responded to them, in the twentieth century. This archive provides the complete run of the publication, in an accessible and easy-to-use online research environment.
