What is Economy, polity, and society : British intellectual history, 1750-1950 about?

<p><P>Two volumes containing new essays by leading scholars in modern British intellectual history.</p> <h3>History Magazine - Peter Ghosh</h3> <p>At some point in the future historians will look back and mock the fin-de-millenium for its remorseless preoccupation with questions of culture, language and identity, just as we today look down upon the vulgar materialism and economism which we see informing so much of the historical scholarship of the years 1920-70. But though they may mock, the more discerning of our successors will want to read this unusual, but entirely appropriate, double Festschrift in honour of John Burrow and Donald Winch, because their works have formed one of the most important strands in the remarkable renascence of the history of ideas in late twentieth-century Britain, alongside those of their near contemporary Quentin Skinner. And the historian of the future will certainly want to enquire into the connection between this renascence, which began in the 1960s, and the wholescale historiographical migration into the realms of culture and language in the 1980s.</p>
