Hi guys! does anybody know what school of thought E.H Carr belongs to, i think he might be Revisionist but i've read many things which insinuate that he is Soviet historian? here are one of his quotes
"The February Revolution of 1917... was the spontaneous outbreak of a multitude exasperated by the privations of the war and by manifest inequality in the distribution of burdens. It was welcomes and unlisted by a broad stratum of the bourgeoisie and of the official class, which had lost confidence in the autocratic system of government."

Hey! :)

E.H. Carr wrote extensively on historical methods/approaches - his book "What is History" is one of the seminal texts of historiography. He can, however, be (somewhat crudely) categorised as a Marxist historian. :) He was definitely quite taken with socialist ideas.

On the examiners report for Revs, it said we don't need to know which school of thought a historian belongs to. If it worries you though, he would be Marxist.
