Hazlitt's essay on Robert Owen is quite fun:

http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Essays/Hazlitt/Political/Owen.htm

there's also a rather good museum in New Lanark these days which makes an
attractive daytrip if you're ever stuck in Glasgow.

I occasionally find myself thinking that Owen and the pre-Engels British
Socialists are probably worth another look, but have always been put off by
the teetotal tendency which one tends to find there.
