Considered by many to be the most innovative British Marxist writer
of the twentieth century, Christopher Caudwell was killed in the
Spanish Civil War at the age of 29. Although already a published
writer of aeronautic texts and crime fiction, he was practically
unknown to the public until reviews appeared of Illusion and
Reality, which was published just after his death. A strikingly
original study of poetry's role, it explained in clear language how
the organising of emotion in society plays a part in social change
and development. Caudwell had a powerful interest in how things
worked - aeronautics, physics, human psychology, language and
society. In the anti-fascist struggles of the 1930s he saw that
capitalism was a system that could not work properly and distorted
the thinking of the age. Self-educated from the age of 15, he wrote
with a directness that is quite alien to most cultural theory.
Culture as Politics introduces Caudwell's work through his most
accessible and relevant writing. Material will be drawn from
Illusion and Reality, Studies in a Dying Culture and his essay
'Heredity and Development'.
