Antonio Gramsci (January 22, 1891 - April 27, 1937) was a founding member of the Italian Communist Party, and spent most of his adult life imprisoned by Mussolini for his opposition to the Fascist regime.
"This collection of Gramsci's early correspondence provides new
insight into his life and work. Through these letters, we follow
the development of Gramsci's own thought and his involvement with
the international communist movement. This book will prove an
indispensable resource, not only to Gramsci scholars, but to anyone
interested in the history of the left more widely."
--Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism and Ghosts Of My Life:
Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures "This is a
meticulous translation of a selection of Gramsci's pre-prison
letters with an extensive introduction that places them in their
historical context. These letters furnish fascinating new insights
into both his personal and political life. Gramsci the man and
Gramsci the politician emerge in new depth and detail. The volume
is an invaluable asset to anyone interested in better understanding
his ideas and his humanity."
--Professor Anne Showstack Sassoon, author of Gramsci and
Contemporary Politics
