E. P. Thompson's main thesis is that in 18th century England there was a tacit agreement of social behaviour and stability between the gentry and the poor. Both were allowed to take certain measures to achieve their aims--the gentry did it via the parliament, and the poor via civil disobedience. Most interestingly, however, was the symbolic struggle, or cultural struggle--what E. P. Thompson calls the theatre and counter-theatre. The theatre meant the social attitudes--the gentry had its wigs, its fancy outfits, and its arrogant attitude, and the poor had its popular culture. This was a way to channel power and discontent through cultural manifestations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49523358400785,"sku":"GOR003476150","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850366976.jpg?v=1750819283"},{"product_id":"witness-against-the-beast-book-e-p-thompson-9780521469777","title":"Witness against the Beast","description":"E.

P. Thompson's revolutionary account of working-class culture and ideals is published in Penguin Modern Classics, with a new introduction by historian Michael Kenny  This classic and imaginative account of working-class society in its formative years, 1780 to 1832, revolutionized our understanding of English social history. E. P. Thompson shows how the working class took part in its own making and re-creates the whole-life experience of people who suffered loss of status and freedom, who underwent degradation, and who yet created a cultured and political consciousness of great vitality.  Reviews:  'A dazzling vindication of the lives and aspirations of the then - and now once again - neglected culture of working-class England' Martin Kettle, Observer  'Superbly readable . . . a moving account of the culture of the self-taught in an age of social and intellectual deprivation' Asa Briggs, Financial Times  'Thompson's work combines passion and intellect, the gifts of the poet, the narrator and the analyst' E. J. Hobsbawm, Independent  'An event not merely in the writing of English history but in the politics of our century' Michael Foot, Times Literary Supplement  'The greatest of our socialist historians' Terry Eagleton, New Statesman  About the author:  E. P. Thompson was born in 1924 and read history at Corpus Christi, Cambridge, graduating in 1946. An academic, writer and acclaimed historian, his first major work was a biography of William Morris. The Making of the English Working Class was instantly recognized as a classic on its publication in 1963 and secured his position as one of the leading social historians of his time. Thompson was also an active campaigner and key figure in the ending of the Cold War. He died in 1993, survived by his wife and two sons.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49575625195793,"sku":"GOR006504018","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632222052625,"sku":"GOR007683076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49727388057873,"sku":"NGR9780141976952","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50283790237969,"sku":"GOR009445257","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51741349183761,"sku":"GOR010685697","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52333989593361,"sku":"NLS9780141976952","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0141976950.jpg?v=1751451173"},{"product_id":"sykaos-papers-book-e-p-thompson-9780747501176","title":"The Sykaos Papers","description":"When he came to Earth (or Sykaos as it was known to the Oitarians), the poet\/space traveller\/gardener Oi Paz declaimed its attractions. It seemed to him that if it should prove to be inhabited by intellectual beings that they could not fail to be harmonious within such harmonious surroundings. The truth shocked him. How could such noisome, graceless beasts so closely resemble the humans of Oitar and carry on in this higgledy fashion? Decoding the nuances of their crudity, language, myths and lawgivers became essential when the primitives dismantled his space craft. However, as Oi Paz grows accustomed to life on Earth, he also experiences an unforeseen breakdown of his Oitarian taboos, while at the same time his presence seems to trigger off a perilous tendency among his captors to fulfil their dreadful Sykotic destiny. The epic sojourn of Oi Paz presents a vision of earth not only as it is to the extraordinary outsider, but very much from within.

The book concludes with “Agenda for Radical History,” Thompson’s inspiring and oft-cited lecture on the future of history and the task of historians in years to come, a fitting conclusion to the book and to Thompson’s own exemplary career.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50265540067601,"sku":"CIN1565842170G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764387614993,"sku":"CIN1565842170VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52422558581009,"sku":"GOR006031189","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52862930813201,"sku":"GOR006858589","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1565842170.jpg?v=1751213615"},{"product_id":"customs-in-common-book-e-p-thompson-9780850364118","title":"Customs in Common","description":"Scholarly reflections on the social history of the 18th century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50307765043473,"sku":"GOR001996783","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50893005881617,"sku":"GOR006464679","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53371655094545,"sku":"GOR008020848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53440048627985,"sku":"GOR007707878","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850364116.jpg?v=1751044319"},{"product_id":"customs-in-common-book-e-p-thompson-9781565840034","title":"Customs in Common","description":"E.P.

P. Thompson (1924-1993) was one of the preeminent British historians of the second half of the twentieth century; his The Making of the English Working Class (1964) is arguably the most influential work of British history published during that period. In the present work, originally presented as a set of lectures at Stanford University, Thompson returned to a question that had been on his mind since the war years, the circumstances surrounding the death of his older brother Frank as a British Liaison Officer with the Bulgarian partisans in 1944.   Though these events, Thompson admitted, constituted only a historical footnote, they afforded him an opportunity to engage larger intellectual and political matters that we now associate with the early beginnings of the Cold War and to illustrate certain elements of historical method. Thompson was here concerned not so much with what is fact and what is interpretation as with \"the activities of anti-historians, how sensitive evidence is destroyed or screened, how myths originate, how historical anecdote may simply be a code for ideology, how the reasons of state are eternally at war with historical knowledge.\"   Early in 1944, a British Special Operations mission was parachuted into Serbia to make contact with a group of Bulgarian partisans operating in the area. Their aim was to arrange air drops of supplies for the partisans and to assist them in extending guerrilla warfare across the frontier into Bulgaria itself. Frank Thompson was head of the British mission when it entered Bulgaria with the partisan forces. By the end of May, the entire group had been killed or captured. After a show trial, Frank (though a British officer in uniform) was executed by a firing squad together with the remaining leaders of the partisans and the villagers who had aided them.   The book shows how the status of the actors in this drama—and the respect accorded to them in the decades that followed—varied with changes in the political climate of Europe and the world. It does not simply examine the events themselves, although these are clarified, but also analyzes the politics that lay behind the events, notably the conflicting interests of the \"western\" and \"eastern\" allies in supporting the partisans and the British liaison mission.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007574671633,"sku":"NIN9780804728973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51084382208273,"sku":"GOR014172491","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804728976.jpg?v=1757412932"},{"product_id":"whigs-and-hunters-book-e-p-thompson-9780992946661","title":"Whigs and Hunters","description":"With Whigs and Hunters, the author of The Making of the English Working Class, E.

Thompson was the single most outstanding voice of heart and reason crying out against the obscenity and unreason of the Cold War. One of Britain’s leading Marxist historians, E.P. Thompson re-wrote our concept of history in The Making of the English Working Class, and redefined the nature and possibilities of political protest in his essays and journalism, in books such as The Poverty of Theory and Writing by Candlelight, and in the polemical pamphlet Protest and Survive. The range and prodigality of his writing has been widely celebrated, but his poetry has received scant attention. Yet the very qualities which made his political writing so incisive and spellbinding are there in the poems: that luminous presence in the words of a man of searing honesty speaking to men and women in an English which is direct and real, sonorous and undebased. It is the same voice, whatever the form: the poet, the man and the style are one. In the poems, Thompson’s vision encompasses tenderness and sardonic anger, rage and hatred, epic grandeur and grand wit as well as unconscious literary naivety.  Unlike many on the Left with tin ears and concrete ideologies, Thompson the writer felt – all through his being – Eliot’s passion for his sacred places, the absoluteness of his concern ‘to purify the language of the tribe’. For Thompson as for Eliot, the language of history and the language of politics were one and the same. His poetry too renews old speech to keep it speakable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51513507741969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51513507938577,"sku":"GOR001873076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51731995394321,"sku":"GOR006006913","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852244224.jpg?v=1751457125"},{"product_id":"poverty-of-theory-book-e-p-thompson-9789350020814","title":"The Poverty of Theory","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51520725156113,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51520725287185,"sku":"GOR011769141","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9350020815.jpg?v=1751097336"},{"product_id":"making-history-book-e-p-thompson-9781565842168","title":"Making History","description":"Bringing together writings and lectures delivered by the late E.P.
