Edward Palmer Thompson (2/3/1924–8/28/1993) was an historian, socialist, writer & peace campaigner. He's known for his historical work on the British radical movements in the late 18th & early 19th centuries, in particular THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS (63).

He also published the novel THE SYKAOS PAPERS & a collection of poetry. He was one of the principal intellectuals of the Communist Party in Great Britain.
