The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians is the first

full-length work to explore the innovative cultural production of the

English camping and hiking organization (1920-1932). Founded after the

First World War as a reaction to militarism in scouting, Kibbo Kift

developed into an all-ages organization for men and women. It attracted

the support of a range of high-profile writers, artists, scientists and

campaigners from DH Lawrence to HG Wells. Underpinned by a complex,

distinctive philosophy, Kibbo Kift's practices were wide-ranging,

extending across health and handicraft, pacifism and propaganda, myth

and magic, education and economics.
