This collection of essays marks the fiftieth anniversary of the
publication of E. P. Thompson's most famous book, The Making of the
English Working Class. It was a highly influential work which
contributed significantly to a revolution in the way history was
studied, not only in Britain but in many countries. Instead of
viewing history solely in terms of kings, courtiers, aristocrats
and politicians, historians began to consider the perspective of
the common people. E. P. Thompson and English radicalism gathers
together a selection of leading authors from a diverse range of
disciplines to critically review not only this pivotal work, but
the wide range of his career, including his experience as an adult
educator, writer, poet and critic. His involvement in the early New
Left, his political theories, his socialist humanism and his
concept of class are all interrogated fully. Thompson was also a
notable and passionate political polemicist, peace campaigner and
activist who saw all his public activity as complementary parts of
a unified whole, and this collection aims to bring his ideas to the
attention of a new generation of students, scholars and activists.
