<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The most complete volume of writings by one of the most fascinating thinkers in the history of Marxism</b> <p/>Antonio Gramsci was one of the most important theorists of class, culture, and the state since Karl Marx. Imprisoned by the Fascists for much of his adult life, Gramsci spent his time in prison avidly writing on a broad range of subjects--from folklore to philosophy, popular culture to political strategy--and developing seminal ideas that have since become essential to our understanding of political theory. <p/>This book brings together the most comprehensive collection of Gramsci's writings available in English. Along with an introduction by leading Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm, the volume includes a biographical introduction, informative introductions to each section, and a glossary of key terms to help readers better grasp the legacy of this important figure. As a thorough introduction to Gramsci's key concepts, this book is essential reading for every serious student of Marxism, political theory, or modern Italian history.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Very usefully pulls the key passages from Gramsci's writings into one volume, which allows English-language readers an overall view of his work. Particularly valuable are the connections it draws across his work and the insights which the introduction and glossary provide into the origin and development of some key Gramscian concepts.--Stuart Hall<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>David Forgacs</b> is the endowed Guido and Mariuccia Zerilli-Marimò Chair in Contemporary Italian Studies at New York University.
