Edward Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class appeared in 1963 and has become one of the most influential history texts of the 20th century. It is still in print 50 years on, having survived challenges from Marxist, feminist and postmodern historians.
A day conference, organised jointly by the People's History Museum (PHM) and the Working Class Movement Library, takes place at PHM on Saturday 13 April, 10am to 4.45pm, to celebrate Thompson's classic, and consider its reception, its critics, and why it endures.
Speakers include the broadcaster Stuart Maconie, the former union leader Rodney Bickerstaffe, and Professor Adrian Randall from the University of Birmingham.
