Collingwood's theory of history, on Anderson's work on Absolutism, on Thompson's Poverty of Theory, and on the contemporary politics of democratic socialism. 410 0$aRoutledge revivals. 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aHistorical materialism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aHistorical materialism. 676 $a907.2 700 $aHirst$b Paul Q$0159119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454920403321 996 $aMarxism and historical writing$92174135 997 $aUNINA
