This is a study of the social bandit, or bandit-rebel, robbers and outlaws who are not regarded by public opinion as simple criminals, but rather as champions of social justice, as avengers or as primitive resistance fighters. Whether Balkan "haiduks", Indian "dacoits" or Brazilian "congaceiros", their spectacular exploits have been celebrated and preserved in story and myth. Some are known only to their own people; others, like Robin Hood, Rob Roy and Jesse James, are famous throughout the world. Setting the historical figures against the ballads, legends and films they have inspired, the author's examples range across the last 400 years and come from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

In this history of the years 1848-1875, the author's intention is not to summarize facts, but rather to draw facts together into a historical synthesis, "make sense of" the period and trace the roots of the present world back to it.

Between 1789 and 1848 the world was transformed by both the French Revolution and also by the Industrial Revolution that originated in Britain. This "Dual Revolution" created the modern world as we know it. Hobsbawm traces the transformation brought about in every sphere of European life by the Dual Revolution - in the conduct of war and diplomacy; in the new industrial areas and on the land; among peasantry, bougeoise, and aristocracy; in methods of government and of revolution; in science, philosophy and religion; in literature and the arts. But above all he sees this as the period when industrial capitalism established itself in Western Europe and when Europe established the domination over the rest of the world it was to hold for a century.

The Age of Revolution 1789-1848 (Age Of...)

Weidenfeld & N.

Recent years have seen a remarkable growth of interest in revolution and social upheaval, Marxism and other ideologies of the left, and the movements inspired by them. As a Marxist of long standing Professor E. J. Hobsbawm, one of the most distinguished historians of our day, has been much involved in the discussion of these topics. In this volume he has collected a series of essays and lectures written over the last decade. The book covers a wide range of connected subjects: the history of communist parties, particularly those of Europe; anarchism, its history and recent revival; the history and present prospects of Marxist thought; guerrilla war and the role of the military in the modern world; and some problems of insurrection, violence and revolution. In his final chapter Professor Hobsbawm examines the role of the intellectual in the class struggle, and the forces and ideals which go to make a revolutionary. In a discussion which is both dispassionate and autobiographical, he draws together many of the themes in preceding chapters, and sets out with force and clarity the great dilemmas which continue to face the communist intellectual in today's world.
