Paul Hirst: Marxism and Historical Writing

Marxism and Historical Writing


Description

In this reissued collection of essays, first published in 1985, Paul Q. Hirst assesses the limits of the Marxist theory of history in its various versions. It begins with an extended critical discussion of Perry Anderson and Edward Thompson, and includes chapters on G.A Cohen's attempt to re-state the Marxist theory of history in terms compatible with analytic philosophy, on R.G. 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.

It includes: * six complete Practice Tests incorporating the 2005 modifications to the Writing module * additional reading and writing modules for General Training candidates * a full description of the exam * strategy boxes training key sub-skills for each module * sections for assessing your writing and academic vocabulary * annotated answer key, analysing correct and incorrect answers * sample answers to writing tasks * complete audio scripts, with answers marked With an introduction by Simon Callow Judgements about the quality of works of art begin in opinion. But for the last two hundred years only the wilfully perverse (and Tolstoy) have denied the validity of the opinion that Shakespeare was a genius. Who was Shakespeare? Why has his writing endured? And what makes it so endlessly adaptable to different times and cultures? Exploring Shakespeare's life, including questions of authorship and autobiography, and charting how his legacy has grown over the centuries, this extraordinary book asks how Shakespeare has come to be such a powerful symbol of genius. Written with lively passion and wit, The Genius of Shakespeare is a fascinating biography of the life - and afterlife - of our greatest poet. Jonathan Bate, one of the world's leading Shakespearean scholars, has shown how the legend of The Operational Risk Handbook for Financial Companies : A guide to the new world of performance-oriented operational risk download ebook Shakespeare's genius was created and sustained, and how the man himself became a truly global phenomenon.
