In this classic text, Kaye looks at Maurice Dobb and the debate on the transition to capitalism; Rodney Hilton on feudalism and the English peasantry; Christopher Hill on the English Revolution; Eric Hobsbawm on workers, peasants and world history; and E.P. Thompson on the making of the English working class. Kaye compares their perspective on history with other approaches, such as that of the French Annales school, and concludes with a discussion of the contribution of the British Marxist historians to the formation of a democratic historical consciousness. The British Marxist Historians is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the intellectual history of the late twentieth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746858049809,"sku":"NGR9781789048643","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50332553478417,"sku":"CIN1789048648VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789048648.jpg?v=1751431541"},{"product_id":"fight-for-the-four-freedoms-book-harvey-j-kaye-9781451691436","title":"The Fight for the Four Freedoms","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe fascinating story of Franklin Roosevelt, the Greatest Generation, and the freedoms they won, is a stirring, heady dose of American history by a.progressive thinker (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn January 6, 1941, the Greatest Generation gave voice to its founding principles, the Four Freedoms: Freedom from want and from fear.

Kaye returns to the study of Marxist history and social thought. Examining the works of such intellectuals, writers, and scholars as Antonio Gramsci, Christopher Hill, George Rude, V.G. Kiernan, E.P. Thompson, Leo Huberman, and John Berger, Kaye reveals the contributions which these figures have made to historical study and political theory, and which they might yet make to the reformation and reinvigoration of radical-democratic and socialist history and politics. Kaye addresses the much-debated question of the role of intellectuals in the making of history and social change, and insists upon the necessity of continuing to ask classical and fundamental Marxist questions about exploitation, oppression, and struggle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49975674405137,"sku":"CIN0415905885G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50123091509521,"sku":"GOR005168951","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415905885.jpg?v=1751229077"},{"product_id":"thomas-paine-and-the-promise-of-america-book-harvey-j-kaye-9780809089703","title":"Thomas Paine and the Promise of America","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49979713224977,"sku":"CIN080908970XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50270383243537,"sku":"CIN080908970XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50516741423377,"sku":"GOR008798796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080908970X.jpg?v=1751170259"},{"product_id":"poets-politics-and-the-people-book-harvey-j-kaye-9780860919575","title":"Poets, Politics and the People","description":"Poets, Politics and the People brings together for the first time the most important writings on English literature, culture and politics by one of the leading Marxist historians of our time. The essays collected here consider the work of Shakespeare, Tennyson and Wordsworth; the relation between writers and 'the people' in popular protest; and the ideas which have motivated and inspired popular struggles, especially Christianity and socialism. Also include are articles in which Kiernan reflects on the 'Cambridge traitors' of the 1930s and the continuing obsession with 'the enemy within'. Together, they form a 'history from the bottom up', reappropriating a radical democratic tradition of thought in Britain. Best known for his studies on imperialism and state formation, Kiernan in this book demonstrates a far-reaching interest in the cultural determinants of literary production, and provides a model for the study of literature in history which will be of interest to scholars of history and literature alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49982038114577,"sku":"GOR005501935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0860919579.jpg?v=1750947750"},{"product_id":"take-hold-of-our-history-book-harvey-j-kaye-9781789043556","title":"Take Hold of Our History","description":"The eighteen essays and speeches in Take Hold of Our History render a manifesto – a call to remember, redeem, and embrace the American radical story and tradition in favor of cultivating American historical memory and imagination and making America radical once again. For too long we have allowed the right to hijack the past and suppress, efface, lie about, and\/or appropriate the essentially radical story of America from the struggles of the Revolution to those of the Age of Roosevelt and the 1960s. And no less tragically, we on the left, apparently haunted by the worst of our national experience, have turned our back on our own story and deferred to the tales of conservatives and reactionaries. Fleeing from the past, we merely compound the tragedies and ironies of American history, for we turn our backs on both the nation’s democratic creed and radical imperative, but also the struggles from the bottom up, the struggles in which working people and others have laid hold of America’s revolutionary promise and succeeded in making the United States freer, more equal and more democratic, at times, radically so. As Bill Moyers put it in 2008: “Here in the first decade of the twenty-first century the story that becomes America’s dominant narrative will shape our collective imagination and our politics for a long time.” The time has come for us to advance that narrative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50007730782481,"sku":"CIN1789043557VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694733132049,"sku":"CIN1789043557G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789043557.jpg?v=1751279505"},{"product_id":"why-do-ruling-classes-fear-history-and-other-questions-book-harvey-j-kaye-9780312172275","title":"Why Do Ruling Classes Fear History? and Other Questions","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50460199944465,"sku":"CIN0312172273G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312172273.jpg?v=1750974401"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-harvey-j-kaye.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
