He also published the novel The Sykaos Papers and a collection of poetry. He also published influential biographies of William Morris (1955) and (posthumously) William Blake (1993) and was a prolific journalist and essayist. He is probably best known today for his historical work on the radical movements in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, in particular The Making of the English Working Class (1963). No one interested in the history of the English people should fail to read his book."- Times Literary SupplementĮdward Palmer Thompson was an English historian, writer, marxist and peace campaigner. "Mr Thompson's deeply human imagination & controlled passion help us to recapture the agonies, heroisms & illusions of the working class as it made itself. Without any reservation, The Making of the English Working Class is the most important study of those days since the classic work of the Hammonds."- Commentary "Thompson's book has been called controversial, but perhaps only because so many have forgotten how explosive England was during the Regency & the early reign of Victoria. Thompson shows how the working class took part in its own making & recreates the whole life experience of people who suffered loss of status & freedom, who underwent degradation & who yet created a culture & political consciousness of great vitality.
