Marxist Modernism presents for the first time Gillian Rose's 1979
lectures on the Frankfurt School, art, and politics. Delivered soon
after the publication of her now classic study of Adorno, The
Melancholy Science, the lecture series expands upon this work to
explore the lives and philosophies of a wider range of Frankfurt
School members and affiliates: from Adorno, to Lukács, Brecht,
Bloch, Benjamin, and Horkheimer. In particular, Rose discusses
their debates concerning various twentieth-century modernist art
movements, and outlines the ways in which each theorist developed
Marx's theory of commodity fetishism into a Marxist theory of
culture. Marxist Modernism serves as a comprehensive yet concise
and conversational introduction to the Frankfurt School, but it
also provides a new resource for one of the twentieth century's
most important philosophers: Gillian Rose. The volume will provide
an accessible encounter with Rose's thought for those not yet
acquainted with her formidable work, while provoking a renewed
engagement with the Marxist basis of her oeuvre for those who are.
An Afterword by the renowned intellectual historian Martin Jay
reviews the lectures and contextualises them within the wider
reception of the Frankfurt School in the Anglophone world.
