Translated and edited by Derek Boothman

Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, written between 1929 and 1935, are the work of one
of the outstanding and most original thinkers in Western Europe. Their influence
has grown continually since their first publication in Italian, soon after the
Second World War. With meticulous scholarship, Derek Boothman has made available
a new and invaluable selection of Gramsci's work, marking the first major translation
into English from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks for nearly a decade. This volume
brings together Gramsci's writings on religion, education, science, philosophy,
and economic theory. The theme that links these writings is the investigation
of ideology at its different levels, and the structures that embody and reproduce
it. Concepts such as subalternity and corporate consciousness, hegemony and the
building of a counter hegemony, thus recur throughout the book. Further Selections
from the Prison Notebooks is an important addition to the corpus of work available
to English-speaking scholars of Gramsci. It will be useful to a wide audience
of both scholars and public intellectuals, including historians, philosopers,
political scientists, literary theorists, and critics.
