This textbook examines Marxism's enormous impact on the way historians approach their subject. Tackling current historiographical questions in an accessible way, Matt Perry offers a clear introduction to Marxist views of history, key Marxist historians and thinkers, and the relevance of Marxist theory and history to students' own work. This is a concise, thorough overview of an important area of historiography. This new edition will be thoroughly updated throughout to incorporate the considerable new research in the area since publication of the first edition in 2002.
