Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, written between 1929 and 1935, are the work of
one of the most original thinkers in twentieth century Europe. Gramsci has
had a profound influence on debates about the relationship between politics
and culture. His complex and fruitful approach to questions of ideology, power
and change remains crucial for critical theory. This volume was the first
selection published from the Notebooks to be made available in Britain, and
was originally published in the early 1970s. It contains the most important
of Gramsci's notebooks, including the texts of The Modern Prince, and Americanism
and Fordism, and extensive notes on the state and civil society, Italian history
and the role of intellectuals.
