Description

The Prehistory of European Society is one of theChilde’s final publications, and his last synthetic statement for a general audience of how he saw the development of this ‘peculiar and individual manifestation of the human spirit’; it is important to put it in context both with respect toChilde’s own life and more widely.

V.GordonChildewas a remarkable man who is considered the father of modern archaeology who specialised in the study of European prehistory. A vocal socialist,Childeaccepted the socio-economic theory of Marxism and was an early, though unorthodox, proponent of Marxist archaeology.Childewas the author of several well-known books on the subject of archaeology and prehistory, including The Dawn of European Civilization and What Happened in History.
