Henry James Stenning, known in print as H. J. Stenning and also known as Harry Stenning (born 1889) was an English socialist and translator.

Life

Born in Westminster, Stenning left school aged thirteen and a half.[1] He joined the Social Democratic Federation in 1906, aged sixteen,[2] and was a peace campaigner during World War I.[1] He later joined the ILP, working at the ILP bakery in Bermondsey after the war.[3] In 1920 he criticised Bolshevism as 'a recrudescence of Blanquism' in an article for Labour Leader,[4] and published a translation of Karl Kautsky's The Dictatorship of the Proletariat.[5] He also worked as a publisher's reader, and from 1925 ran a law stationers' business in the City of London.[1]
