Description
An influential introduction to Marxist cultural criticism by the acclaimed literary theorist
In Marxism and Form, Fredric Jameson, one of the most important literary and cultural critics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, offers a pioneering look at major European Marxist and Frankfurt School thinkers—Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, Bloch, Lukács, and Sartre. Through penetrating readings, Jameson develops an influential mode of critical engagement that places art and culture at the heart of Marxist theory. The result lays the foundations for the entirety of Jameson’s monumental critical project—and remains a timely and vital work of aesthetic criticism for readers today.
