Books by E. P. Thompson

A book that revolutionised our understanding of English social history. E. P. Thompson shows how the English working class emerged through the degradations of the industrial revolution to create a culture and political consciousness of enormous vitality.

Originally appearing shortly after E. P. Thompson's death in 1993, and acclaimed as one of his best and most deeply felt works, Witness Against the Beast appears now for the first time in paperback. 'Everything characteristic of the late E. P. Thompson - his clarity, humanity, and breadth of learning - is present in this book.' Financial Times
