Quote:
The section on his letters to Fred Henderson, although revealing his attitude to aesthetics, is left out of the later editions of E.P.Thompson's study. This is a pattern I have noticed in other books. Slight breaks with good taste occur in first editions which might have escaped the attention of chief editors. The success of the book then presumably brings it to the attention of the publishers and it is intuitively tidied up for the second or subsequent editions.
