Abstract

Thomas Spence was born on 21 June 1750 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He became a school teacher active in radical politics in the course of which he first presented his land plan in 1775. In 1792 Spence moved to London where he made a precarious living producing and selling radical publications, for which he was imprisoned on two occasions. By the early 1800s Spence had attracted a group of followers who continued to promote their version of his ideas through to the 1830s and beyond. Spence died in poverty on 8 September 1814.
