The Gramscian Moment

The influence of Antonio Gramsci's thought is exceeded only by the diverse interpretations to which it has been subjected. Drawing on the recent flurry of linguistic work on his Prison Notebooks , Peter D. Thomas argues that Gramsci's significance is in his distinctive position in the development of the classical Marxist tradition. Peter D. Thomas is lecturer in the history of political thought at Brunel University. He has previously studied and worked at the Universities of Queensland, Naples, Berlin, and Amsterdam. He has published widely on Marxist political theory and philosophy. He is an editor of the journal Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory .
