دانلود کتاب Marxism and Modernism: An Historical Study of Lukacs, Brecht, Benjamin and Adorno

"At a time when modernism and Marxism are both under attack as
outmoded, Eugene Lunn's rich and detailed study of the years of
their most creative interaction reminds us of the still potent energies
unleashed by each. We could ask for no more reliable and judicious
guide through the complicated debates generated by the struggle to
define a viable Marxist aesthetics in the era of the avant-garde.
Lukacs, Brecht, Benjamin and Adorno, four masters of the tradition
of Marxist cultural theory and practice, are themselves well-served
by a contemporary master of intellectual history."
-Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley

"Lunn examines the relations between Marxism and modernism as
they appear in the careers of four figures who were representative of
diverse orientations and possibilities within each T heir debates
and confrontations, both actual and implied, reveal many facets of
the modernist movement, and of Marxism as it has developed in the
twentieth century. Lunn provides an excellent and valuable account
of this important and compelling subject. His book is solidly informed,
insightful, imaginative, and thought-provoking."
-Jerrold Seigel, American Historical Review

"Lunn expertly constructs the major part of his book around two
axes, the so-called Brecht-Lukacs debate and the Adorno-Benjamin
debate. Even here, however, Lunn manages to compare each member
of these two dyads with each of the others, so that a subtle, manysided
discussion of contrasts and similarities results All in all,
this is an excellent work- to my mind the best condensed treatment
of the confrontation between Marxism and modernism that exists
in any language." David Gross, Telos

"Unerringly intelligent and judicious, the book provides economical
accounts of the careers and theories of its chosen critics, places
them in historical context, and prefaces them with brief but cogent
surveys of Marx's own fragmentary aesthetics and of artistic modernism
Marxism and Modernism offers a splendidly wellresearched
and amenable study of the most fertile developments
in Marxist aesthetics." Terry Eagleton, Journal of Modern History
