Об авторе

E.P. Thompson was a British historian, sociologist, and socialist whose work significantly shaped the study of English history and the wider labor movement. He is best known for his influential book "The Making of the English Working Class," which explores the emergence of the working class in England during the Industrial Revolution. Thompson's approach combined a deep understanding of historical context with a commitment to social justice, making his work resonate with both academics and activists alike.

Thompson's scholarship was marked by a focus on the experiences and voices of ordinary people, challenging traditional narratives that often marginalized their contributions. He was also a founding member of the New Left Review and played a pivotal role in the development of the New Left movement in Britain. His legacy continues to inspire historians and social theorists who seek to understand the complexities of class, labor, and social change.
