British Marxist Historians

Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, EJ Hobsbawm and EPThompson... These names, who have gained a unique place among contemporary history and social science theories with the tradition they created, reshaped Marxist philosophy in the 20th century. British Marxist Historians is a comprehensive evaluation that includes these names as well as many important theorists. In his work prepared with a detailed research and great care, Harvey J. Kaye examines all of the British Marxist Historians with the prominent aspects of their intellectual products. Maurice Dobb and the discussion of the transition to capitalism; Rodney Hilton's studies on feudalism and the English peasantry; Christopher Hill's thoughts on the English Revolution; EJ Hobsbawm's view of workers, peasants and world history; EP Thompson's thesis on the formation of the English working class has been expertly brought together by Kaye. The book also compares this group's view of history with other strong traditions such as the French Annales School, while also presenting their undeniable contribution to the emergence of a democratic historical consciousness.

This work, considered one of the most detailed and successful studies on the group of British Marxist Historians, will excite all readers interested in the reflections of intellectual history in the last century. With the "Presentation" of EJ Hobsbawm, who is among these historians and one of the most important historians of our age...

“This book is a lasting contribution to the history of 20th-century Marxism, to a period in British cultural history, and to the study of how historians and history work.”
