![]() Not long after that he fell out with his father (committing the unpardonable act, for a Basque, of stealing grain from the older man) and then suddenly disappeared. After more than eight years of impotence, Martin succeeded in consummating the marriage and begetting a son. Both bride and groom were well-to-do and very young, perhaps 12 and 14 respectively. Martin Guerre was a peasant of Basque origins who married Bertrande de Vols in the village of Artigat in 1538.

Furthermore, economists and economic historians, in their haste to defend capitalism, too often downplay the Industrial Revolution’s destructive impact, which many working-class men, women, and children felt as a catastrophic change in the way they lived and especially in the way they worked. While economic statistics can be useful, Thompson argues that excessive reliance on measurable data obscures the actual experiences of people who once lived. Thompson’s emphasis on class as a “historical phenomenon” that “happens (and can be shown to have happened) in human relationships” (9) distinguishes his approach from that of empiricists who analyze the past in quantitative terms. The book concludes with the Reform Act of 1832, by which time the English working class had been formed. This guide follows Thompson in using 1792 as the publication date. Whilst Paine published the first part of Rights of Man in 1791, the second part didn’t appear until early 1792.
