Description
First published fifty years ago, E.P. Thompson's groundbreaking study of working-class culture and ideals is now available in Penguin Modern Classics, with a new introduction by historian Michael Kenny. This seminal work reimagines the formative years of English social history, from 1780 to 1832, and explores how the working class shaped its own destiny.
Thompson's vivid account brings to life the experiences of people who suffered loss of status and freedom, yet created a rich and vibrant cultural consciousness. With passion and intellect, he combines the gifts of the poet, the narrator, and the analyst to create a moving and thought-provoking narrative.
Originally published in 1963, The Making of the English Working Class has secured its place as a landmark work in the field of social history, and its influence continues to be felt today.
