For fans of EP Thompson...

The journal Past & Present is celebrating the work of E. P. Thompson with a three-part series of special virtual issues.  The first collection is available now and explores his seminal work The Making of the English Working Class.  It features fifteen original articles including E. P. Thompson's "Hunting the Jacobin Fox", which was published posthumously in Past & Present.

The first collection is available free up to the end of March at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/page/5666/2.

History Workshop Online has published a previously unpublished essay of Thompson's about the politics of education, the relationship between activism and academia, and his own experiences.
