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. 606 $aSocial classes$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory 676 $a941.082 701 $aGriffiths$b Clare V.
