E.P. Thompson: Objections and Oppositions
by: Bryan D. Palmer

Softcover. London/NY, Verso, 1st, 1994, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 201 pages. Edward Thompson, perhaps the greatest post-war historian in the English-speaking world, died in 1993. In this readable and unabashedly appreciative survey of Thompson's histories and politics, Byran D. Palmer reviews include a passionate biographical account of the late-nineteenth-century Romantic William Morris, the hugely acclaimed The Making of the English Working Class, and a series of eighteenth-century studies that reach from customary culture to the antinomian poetics of William Blake.
