Product Description
Review
The analysis itself, of course, is quite brilliant.... (SCOTSMAN )
He combines a novelist's narrative power with an unrivalled command of detail and source (OBSERVER )
Demonstrating that it is possible to be both erudite and accessible, he turns his attention to the "uncommon people" of the 18th and 19th centuries... [Hobsbawm] provides a brilliant deconstruction of the popular idea that revolution and sexual freedom are intrinsically connected. (SUNDAY TIMES )
Dump-if you have any- your preconceptions about Marxist history and buy this book. (OBSERVER )
