Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Edward Countryman

 



New York Times, 4/29/2025

Clay Risen reports:
Professor Countryman began his career in the 1970s as part of what was known as the neo-progressive school, which focused on the social and economic factors that drove historical change. 
Influenced by the British labor historian E.P. Thompson, with whom he worked at the University of Warwick in England, Professor Countryman wrote history from the bottom up, examining the way everyday people made decisions that, collectively, affected the course of events — what came to be known as the new social history. 
He promoted the idea that the American Revolution was about much more than just achieving independence from the British: It was, he claimed, a social revolution, with elites forced to give ground to the working and farming classes.
