The Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings 1916-1935

with a new introduction by ERIC J. HOBSBAWM
"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, Professor of Sociology, Open University

The Gramscian Moment

This study proposes to make a contribution to the philological reassessment of Gramsci’s legacy, in the perspective of the contemporary revitalisation of Marxism. Both of these elements should be emphasised from the outset, as the ‘content’ and ‘horizon’ of this study. The point of departure for this study is constituted by the influential critiques of Gramsci by Louis Althusser’s contribution to Reading ‘Capital’ and Perry Anderson’s ‘The Antinomies of AntonioGramsci’ in the 1960s and 1970s.
