ISBN: 155786571X ISBN-13: 9781557865717 Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell OUR PRICE: $52.42 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: November 1995 Annotation: One of the greatest Marxist theorists of his generation, author of among other classics "History of the Development of Modern Drama" (1911), "History and Class Consciousness" (1923) and "The Historical Novel" (1937), Georg Lukacs was a prolific writer of remarkably catholic, if moralistic, tastes. In the "The Lukacs Reader," his biographer Arpad Kadarkay represents the great range and variety of Lukacs's output, collecting work from four fields of activity: autobiography, drama and tragedy, art and literature, philosophy and politics - material for the most part not previously published in English. The reader includes, in original translations, and with introductory essays, Lukacs on: Kierkegaard, Shakespeare, Ford, Strindberg, Ibsen, Wilde, Shaw, Gauguin, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Also collected are: the autobiographical 'On the Poverty of Spirit', material from Lukacs's diary, and such key articles as: 'Aesthetic Culture', 'The Ideology of Modernism', 'Bolshevism as an Ethical Problem', and 'Class Consciousness'. What emerges is a figure very much at the centre of European thought whose value to modern culture and philosophy differs markedly from that which received opinion generally admits. |
