Prison Notebooks: Three Volume Set

Antonio Gramsci; Translated by Joseph A. Buttigieg

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 contextualization of the thinker’s ideas against his earlier writings and letters. This set includes notebooks 1 through 8 with all attendant notes and materials and is an indispensible resource for scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
