{"product_id":"in-practice-james-epstein-9780804747882","title":"In Practice: Studies in the Language and Culture of Popular Politics in Modern Britain","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book reflects on popular politics in Britain during the turbulent period of industrialization, focusing on how political meanings were produced and sustained. It is also a spirited series of responses to the changing terrain of historical studies. It takes as its starting point the goal of defining a middle ground between E. P. Thompson's concept of cultural materialism and the postmodern view of culture as a system of signs and codes (with emphasis on the linguistic grounding of experience). The first part of the book evaluates and critiques the work of two of the most influential proponents of the linguistic turn in British historical writing: Gareth Stedman Jones and Patrick Joyce. The second part contains four case studies: the first two treating British political culture in the age of the French Revolution, the third dealing with the role of space in historical reasoning, and the fourth assessing the role of gentleman leaders within popular movements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Epstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804747881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804747882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.18w x 0.53d","brand":"James Epstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926221914367,"sku":"9780804747882","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b9f94c87-e690-4a1d-9db8-91d2650505f3.jpg?v=1681081875","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-practice-james-epstein-9780804747882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
