ABSTRACT

Eric Hobsbawm must be known internationally to a greater extent than almost any other post-war British intellectual. If, in Britain, he is probably best known as an historian of industrial capitalism and the working class, in Southern Italy or Peru he is read as the historian of primitive rebels, while, to some others, he is not Eric Hobsbawm at all, but remembered as Francis Newton, jazz critic. And as can be seen from the following bibliography, there are many other subjects with which he is associated. The bibliography includes everything published up to April 1982 known to me save for the numerous reprints of articles or extracts from books, except where the reprint more accessible than the original and letters to the press. In compiling the bibliography the author received much help and hospitality from Eric and Marlene Hobsbawm: my warmest thanks to them both, for without them it really would have been an impossible task.
