Description

Engaged with questions of realist and modernist world-views in art, the relations of literary history to politics and the role of cultural intellectuals in public life, this book of essays collects some of Lukacs' most influential writings. Translated into English for the first time, these pieces offer a new look at one of the most significant Marxist thinkers of the 20th century.

Gyoergy Lukacs, 1885-1971, was one of the twentieth century's most influential Marxist philosophers and literary critics. Tyrus Miller: Ph.D. (1994), Stanford University, is Professor of Literature at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He is the author of books and articles on twentieth-century culture including Late Modernism: Politics, Fiction, and the Arts between the World Wars (University of California Press, 1999) and Singular Examples: Artistic Politics and the Neo-Avant-Garde (Northwestern University Press, 2009)
