EP Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class formed my political thinking when I first read it in my late teens. Thompson’s marxism (small m) was rooted in the communities and landscape in which he lived and breathed.

Thanks to Kenan Malik for reminding us of this seminal work of social history.
