B. Priestley argued that if one could grasp why a retired civil servant had written such a book then the modern age could be understood. It heralded the political turmoil of the decades that were to follow its publication and provided inspiration for Marxists and Fascists alike. Developing the ideas of violence, myth and the general strike, Sorel celebrates the heroic action of the proletariat as a means of saving the modern world from decadence and of re-invigorating the capitalist spirit of a timid bourgeoisie. This edition of Sorel's classic text is accompanied by an editor's introduction by Jeremy Jennings, a leading scholar of political thought, both setting the work in its context and explaining its major themes. A chronology of Sorel's life and a list of further reading are included. 410 0$aCambridge texts in the history of political thought. 606 $aSyndicalism 606 $aStrikes and lockouts 606 $aSocial conflict 606 $aViolence 615 0$aSyndicalism. 615 0$aStrikes and lockouts. 615 0$aSocial conflict. 615 0$aViolence. 676 $a335/.82 700 $aSorel$b Georges$f1847-1922.$0123655 701 $aJennings$b Jeremy$f1952-$01619345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807323503321 996 $aReflections on violence$94203818 997 $aUNINA
