Abstract
E.P. Thompson is widely known as a historian, essayist, political activist, and the most controversial of all British Marxist historians. The Making of the English Working Class (1963) turned Thompson into "the world's most widely cited historian of the 20th century." In The Making of the English Working Class, Thompson recounts how the working population of England developed a sense of unity among them and against their employers between the 1790s and the 1830s. The major proposal of The Making of the English Working Class was that "class" was not "a thing," not a theoretical construct, not a structure or category, but a "historical phenomenon" arising from human relations. As Thompson said, “class arises when some human beings, as experienced (both inherited from the past and shared in the present), feel and express their identity about their interests among themselves, and that opposes other human beings who have a different identity of interest. Therefore, class is indebted to "agency" as much as to external conditioning, and the working people fought by extracting from the English tradition, creating themselves into first class.
