Written by a distinguished team of scholars, it examines McKibbin's life and thought, and explores the implications of his arguments. One of his most important achievements has been to break down the artificial barriers that existed between 'social' and 'political' history, in order to enrich the writing of both; that legacy is reflected throughout this volume.Social classesGreat BritainHistory20th centuryGreat BritainHistory20th centuryGreat BritainCivilization20th centuryGreat BritainSocial life and customs20th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government20th centurySocial classesHistory941.082Griffiths Clare V.
