Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) is widely celebrated as the most
original political thinker in Western Marxism and an all-around
outstanding intellectual figure. Arrested and imprisoned by the
Italian Fascist regime in 1926, Gramsci died before fully regaining
his freedom. Nevertheless, in his prison notebooks, he recorded
thousands of brilliant reflections on an extraordinary range of
subjects, establishing an enduring intellectual legacy.
Columbia University Press's multivolume "Prison Notebooks" is
the only complete critical edition of Antonio Gramsci's seminal
writings in English. The notebooks' integral text gives readers
direct access not only to Gramsci's influential ideas but also to
the intellectual workshop where those ideas were forged. Extensive
notes guide readers through Gramsci's extraordinary series of
reflections on an encyclopedic range of topics. Volume 1 opens with
an introduction to Gramsci's project, describing the circumstances
surrounding the composition of his notebooks and examining his
method of inquiry and critical analysis. It is accompanied by a
detailed chronology of the author's life. An unparalleled
translation of notebooks 1 and 2 follows, which laid the
foundations for Gramsci's later writings. Most intriguing are his
earliest formulations of the concepts of hegemony, civil society,
and passive revolution.
