Description
The British Marxist Historians by Harvey J. Kaye is a comprehensive study of the founders of one of the most influential contemporary academic traditions in history and social theory. This book examines the work of key figures such as Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, Eric Hobsbawm, and E.P. Thompson, who shaped the debate on topics like capitalism, feudalism, the English Revolution, workers' history, and the making of the English working class. Kaye compares their perspectives with other approaches to history, such as the French Annales school, before concluding that the British Marxist historians made a significant contribution to the formation of a democratic historical consciousness. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the intellectual history of the late twentieth century and the development of Marxist thought in Britain. For readers seeking to understand the evolution of Marxist historiography in the UK, this book provides a valuable insight into the key figures and debates that have shaped the field.
