<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>E. P. Thompson is a towering fi gure in the fi eld of labor history, <br>best known for his monumental and path-breaking work, The<br>Making of the English Working Class. But as this collection shows, <br>Thompson was much more than a historian: he was a dedicated<br>educator of workers, a brilliant polemicist, a skilled political theorist, <br>and a tireless agitator for peace, against nuclear weapons, <br>and for a rebirth of the socialist project. <p/>The essays in this book, many of which are either out-of-print or<br>diffi cult to obtain, were written between 1955 and 1963 during<br>one of the most fertile periods of Thompson's intellectual and<br>political life, when he wrote his two great works, The Making of<br>the English Working Class and William Morris: Romantic to Revolutionary.<br>They reveal Thompson's insistence on the vitality of a<br>humanistic and democratic socialism along with the value of utopian<br>thinking in radical politics. Throughout, Thompson struggles<br>to open a space independent of offi cial Communist Parties and<br>reformist Social Democratic Parties, opposing them with a vision of<br>socialism built from the bottom up. Editor Cal Winslow, who studied<br>with Thompson, provides context for the essays in a detailed<br>introduction and reminds us why this eloquent and inspiring voice<br>remains so relevant to us today.</p>
