Editions and translations

[edit]

The book was originally published by Manchester University Press in 1959 and released in 1960 in the United States by Free Press of Glencoe, Illinois under an alternative main title: Social Bandits and Primitive Rebels, which emphasised the concept of the social bandit created by Hobsbawm in the book.[1] The 1971 edition by Manchester University Press, numbered as the third but being the only amended one, includes a new preface and minor changes to the text.

The book's French translation appeared still in 1959 as Les Primitifs de la révolte dans l'Europe moderne (Paris: Fayard). The German rendition by Renate Müller-Isenburg and Charles Barry Hyams followed in 1962 (Sozialrebellen. Archaische Sozialbewegungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert, Neuwied: Luchterhand).

A 2017 reprint by Abacus carries a new introduction by Owen Jones (ISBN 9780349143019).[2]
