Overview

In A Companion to Antonio Gramsci some of the most important Italian scholars of Antonio Gramsci's thought combine their efforts to present an insightful and original intellectual portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential Marxist thinkers.

Contributors include: Alberto Burgio, Davide Cadeddu, Giuseppe Cospito, Angelo d'Orsi, Michele Filippini, Guido Liguori, Marcello Montanari, Vittorio Morfino, Stefano Petrucciani, Michele Prospero, Leonardo Rapone, Giuseppe Vacca, and Marzio Zanantoni.
