But the capitalist elite did not form the working class--the workers shaped their own creations, developing a shared identity in the process. Despite their lack of power and the indignity forced upon them by the upper classes, the working class emerged as England's greatest cultural and political force. Crucial to contemporary trends in all aspects of society, at the turn of the nineteenth century, these workers united into the class that we recognize all across the Western world today. E.P. Thompson's magnum opus, \u003ci\u003eThe Making of the English Working Class\u003c\/i\u003e defined early twentieth-century English social and economic history, leading many to consider him Britain's greatest postwar historian. Its publication in 1963 was highly controversial in academia, but the work has become one of the most influential social commentaries every written.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49725937942801,"sku":"CIN0394703227G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49752621482257,"sku":"CIN0394703227A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49904678338833,"sku":"GOR003135349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50129684791569,"sku":"CIN0394703227VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51335008256273,"sku":"NIN9780394703220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53197871743249,"sku":"GOR005969393","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0394703227.jpg?v=1750878211"},{"product_id":"william-morris-book-ep-thompson-9781604862430","title":"William Morris","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Morris--the great 19th-century craftsman, designer, poet and writer--remains a monumental figure whose influence resonates powerfully today. As an intellectual (and author of the seminal utopian News from Nowhere), his concern with artistic and human values led him to cross what he called the \"river of fire\" and become a committed socialist--committed not to some theoretical formula but to the day by day struggle of working women and men in Britain and to the evolution of his ideas about art, about work and about how life should be lived.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany of his ideas accorded none too well with the reforming tendencies dominant in the labour movement, nor with those of \"orthodox\" Marxism, which has looked elsewhere for inspiration. Both sides have been inclined to venerate Morris rather than to pay attention to what he said.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this biography, written less than a decade before his groundbreaking The Making of the English Working Class, E.P. Thompson brought his now trademark historical mastery, passion, wit, and essential sympathy.

The mission, of which Frank Thompson was a member, was under the command of Major Mostyn Davies; its remit was to arrange air-drops for the partisans to assist their operations against the occupying Royal Bulgarian Army, and later in the extension of guerilla warfare across the frontier into Bulgaria itself. When Mostyn Davies was killed in action, Thompson assumed command of the mission and crossed the frontier with the partisan brigade in mid-May. By the end of May, the whole group including the British mission had been killed or captured. After a show trial held in the village of Litakovo, Frank, although a British officer in uniform, was executed by firing squad together with the remaining leaders of the partisans and villagers who had aided them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50115166634257,"sku":"GOR003165706","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53475504193809,"sku":"GOR006007335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850364612.jpg?v=1750946636"},{"product_id":"sykaos-papers-book-ep-thompson-9780394568287","title":"Sykaos Papers #","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50467697819921,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50467700572433,"sku":"CIN0394568281G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51602531811601,"sku":"CIN0394568281VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51695528804625,"sku":"CIN0394568281A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0394568281.jpg?v=1751197069"},{"product_id":"heavy-dancers-book-ep-thompson-9780850363289","title":"The Heavy Dancers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51339315773713,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51339316068625,"sku":"GOR003346582","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850363284.jpg?v=1751202489"},{"product_id":"poverty-of-theory-book-ep-thompson-9780850364460","title":"Poverty of Theory","description":"This classic collection of essays by E.P. Thompson, one of England’s most renowned socialist voices, remains a staple text in the history of Marxist theory. The bulk of the book is dedicated to Thompson’s famous polemic against Louis Althusser and what he considers the reductionism and authoritarianism of Althusserian structuralism. In lively and erudite prose, Thompson argues for a self-critical and unapologetically humanist Marxist tradition. Also included are three essays of considerable importance to the development of the New Left.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51370523951377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51370524016913,"sku":"GOR004527657","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52604707438865,"sku":"GOR004291154","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850364469.jpg?v=1751171439"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-ep-thompson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
