Prison Notebooks

Columbia University Press's multivolume Prison Notebooks is a complete critical edition of the first three volumes of Antonio Gramsci's seminal writings in English.
Until Joseph Buttigieg's meticulous translation and critical attention to Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, this invaluable text, a testimony to the most emancipatory thinking of our time, was available to the leadership in English in only an artificially contrived form. Now Buttigieg's monumental and magesterial work is available in paperback. Scholars, teachers, students, activists, general readers -- rejoice! -- Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Columbia University Press's multivolume Prison Notebooks is the only complete critical edition of Antonio Gramsci's seminal writings in English. Based on the authoritative Italian edition of Gramsci's work, Quaderni del Carcere, this comprehensive translation presents the intellectual as he ought to be read and understood.
With critical notes that clarify Gramsci's history, culture, and sources; an index of names; and a contextualisation of the thinker's ideas against his earlier writings and letters, this set is an indispensable resource for scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
This set includes notebooks 1 through 8 with all attendant notes and materials.
