Biographical History
Ralph Miliband, a notable political theorist, Marxist and socialist, was born in
Brussels of Polish Jewish parents in 1924. By the time he was 15, he was a member
of the radical-socialist Jewish youth organisation, Hashomer Hatzair, and he had
already read the Communist Manifesto. Yet, in retrospect he thought he had not
been particularly politically conscious in his youth. In May 1940, when he was 16,
Miliband fled Brussels with his father to England, as Hitler’s army was invading
Belgium. In England he changed his name from Adolphe to Ralph. He continued his
education in London, and was admitted to the London School of Economics in 1941.
Between June 1943 and January 1946 Miliband did war service at the Royal Navy.
Then in 1947 he graduated with first-class honours from the Department of
Government at the LSE. In 1949 he was appointed Assistant Lecturer in Political
Science at the LSE. He obtained a doctorate for a thesis entitled “Popular thought in
the French Revolution, 1789-1794” from the University of London in 1956. Miliband
subsequently became a Senior Lecturer at the LSE, and continued teaching there
until 1972. During his teaching career he mainly taught modern political thought,
social and political theory and a graduate course in political sociology. In 1972 he
was appointed Professor of Politics and Head of the Department of Politics at the
University of Leeds, a position which he kept until 1978, although for the academic
session 1977-1978 he worked as a Visiting Professor at the Brandeis University in
Massachusetts. After leaving the University of Leeds, he lectured at Brandeis
University during autumn semesters, and continued to do research in London for the
rest of the year. He also gave several guest lectures at universities in Europe and
North America. During his own studies at the LSE, Miliband had been immensely
influenced by Harold Laski, whom he regarded as “a great teacher of politics”. As a
teacher Miliband expected serious work and debate from his students, was known to
be “an absolutely brilliant orator” and his lectures were always exceptionally popular.
After 1956, following the publication of The Reasoner within the British Communist
Party by Edward Thompson and John Saville, Miliband became directly involved in
the British New Left movement. In Thompson and Saville he found true political allies
with whom to advance the socialist project. In 1964 Miliband and Saville founded the
Socialist Register, an annual collection of important scholarly articles in socialism (an
offshoot of the New Left Review). He continued editing the Register with Saville, and
for the final ten years with Leo Panitch, for 30 years until his death in 1994. The
criterion for articles included in the Register, as he sets out in a letter to John Saville
(SR/7), was “interest, excellence of argument, and the degree to which an essay
pushes things forward”. His first book Parliamentary Socialism (1961), a strong
critique of the Labour Party with a historical account since 1900, proved enormously
influential. His other major works include The State in Capitalist Society (1969),
Marxism and Politics (1977), Capitalist Democracy in Britain (1982), Class Power
and State Power (1983), Divided Societies: Class Struggle in Contemporary
Capitalism (1989) and Socialism for a Sceptical Age (1994). Miliband’s contributions

to Marxist scholarship can be summed up as one of the tributes at his death

described him as “the leading Marxist political scientist in the English-speaking world”.
He incorporated other approaches to his Marxist theorisation to make it accessible to
non-Marxist intellectual community.
In 1961 Miliband married Marion Kozak, and they had two sons, David and Edward.

Left and the entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Scope and Content

The archive consists of the following:
Original MS and TS papers by Miliband (1940-1994), correspondence (1942-1994),

System of Arrangement
The papers were the gift from Professor Miliband's widow, Marion Kozak, on 11 April
2003. They were received in boxes containing files. The original document files
(some of which include markings on them about their contents) and the order of the
papers within files have been retained. However, since there appeared to be no
cohesive order to the files within the boxes, they have been subsequently rearranged
by Library staff. The order is thematic and chronological, making up 22 series that
reflect either the form of the record (e.g. correspondence) or the activities to which
they relate (e.g. Isaac Deutscher Memorial Prize). The series are:

individual files). However, there is box-level listing only (although this is very detailed
in many cases) for series 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.
