• W321884824 abstract "One could have been excused for assuming that Eric Hobsbawm would always be around to shine perspicacious light on ways of world - light powered by depth and breadth of historical knowledge arguably unparalleled among his contemporaries.And this despite fact that few other historians could have boasted such wide range of contemporaries. In 1930s, he is said to have operated Communist Party cell in Cambridge from rooms situated beneath those of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In 1950s, he bracketed with likes of E.P. Thompson and Christopher Hill. In past decade or so, his considerably younger friends and admirers in field ranged from Tristram Hunt to Niall Ferguson.It is relatively minor measure of his longevity, then, that Hobsbawm lived long enough to obituarise one of his obituarists. An appreciation of his life and work in Guardian co-credited to sociologist Dorothy Wedderburn. Less than two weeks ago, same newspaper carried what may well have been last words Hobsbawm wrote - an affectionate tribute to Wedderburn.Hobsbawm, who died this week at age of 95, will best be remembered for his magisterial quartet, begun in 1962 and concluded in 1994, that covered world history from French Revolution of 1789 to demise of Soviet Union in 1991. These books, writes American labour historian Eric Foner in Nation, starting point for anyone who seeks comprehensive history of modern world.The sentiment echoes that of ideologically very different Ferguson, who describes books as the best starting point I know for anyone who wishes to begin studying modern history. We were poles apart politically, of course, Ferguson says, adding that we disagreed about most contemporary political questions. It could hardly have been otherwise. But: The fact that he side with workers and peasants, while I side with bourgeoisie, no obstacle to friendship.That bears testimony to Hobsbawm's tolerance. Ferguson says he disappointed to discover that Hobsbawm's autobiography, Interesting Times, did not contain some expression of remorse for his decision to remain member of Communist Party even after exposure of Stalin's crimes.It's valid, albeit hardly original, point. After all, several of his notable comrades did dissociate themselves from party in 1950s, if not in wake of Nikita Khrushchev's condemnation of his predecessor, dien in wake of die Soviet invasion of Hungary.I was, Hobsbawm confessed in an interview 10 years ago, a loyal Communist Party member for two decades before 1956 and therefore silent about number of things about which it's reasonable not to be silent.But mere's an engaging explanation to be found in Interesting Times of why he reluctant to part ways with party until it dissolved itself in die early 1990s.Hobsbawm, says obituary co-written by Wedderburn, was born in Alexandria, good place for historian of Empire, in 1917, good year for communist. He lived in Vienna with his parents, but orphaned by time he 14, with his father and mother dying witfiin two years of each other, and went to live with his uncle in Berlin - before moving to London shortly after Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. …" @default.
