ITEM OVERVIEW
No other country and no other period has produced a tradition of major aesthetic debate to compare with that which unfolded in German culture from the 1930s to the 1950s. In Aesthetics and Politics the key texts of the great Marxist controversies over literature and art during these years are assembled in a single volume. They do not form a disparate collection but a continuous, interlinked debate between thinkers who have become giants of twentieth-century intellectual history. With an Afterword by Fredric Jameson.
"This is vital reading for anyone concerned with the relationship between art and socialism." – John Fowles
"Key texts in the study of modernism." – Raymond Williams
