Peter Linebaugh - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Linebaugh is an American Marxist historian who specializes in British history, Irish history, labor history, and the history of the colonial Atlantic. He is a member of the Midnight Notes Collective.

Early life

Linebaugh was born in 1942.^[1] He was a student of British labor historian E. P. Thompson, and received his Ph.D. in British history from the University of Warwick in 1975.^[2] He has taught at University of Rochester, New York University, University of Massachusetts–Boston, Franconia College, Harvard University, and Tufts University. Linebaugh retired from the University of Toledo in 2014.^[3]

Career

About the second edition of his book The London Hanged—and about Linebaugh's unique place in the pantheon of 21st-century historians more broadly—Nicholas Lezard wrote, "For a start, this is a work of proper history: with all due respect to Dava Sobel . . . and others who set out to make their histories entertaining and, crucially, popular by giving them a narrative, this is a work by a proper historian, whose only concession to the marketplace is the fact that he has made a connection that should command our attention."^[4] Historian Robin Kelley praised Linebaugh's book The Magna Carta Manifesto (2008), arguing that there is "not a more important historian living today. Period."^[5]

Linebaugh's writing has appeared in New Left Review, the New York University Law Review, Radical History Review, and Social History. He is also a frequent contributor to CounterPunch.

Personal life

Linebaugh is married to Michaela Brennan. He has two daughters, Kate and Riley Linebaugh.^[6]
