Critics Review
The analysis itself, of course, is quite brilliant….
Quite billiant…because he assembles his arguments with knowledge ranging across both countries and centuries, they have a rare potency - Scotsman
Eric Hobsbawn has become informally enthroned as Britain’s leading historian…ge combines a novelist’s narrative power with an unrivalled command of detail and source - Observer - Neal AschersonDemonstrating 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 TIMESDump-if you have any- your preconceptions about Marxist history and buy this book. - OBSERVEROne of the outstanding historians of our age - Independent on SundayAbout The Author
