Summary
"For more than four decades Perry Anderson has remained one of the most influential figures on the Anglo-American intellectual Left. His oeuvre includes seminal analyses of Britain's decline, European absolutism, Gramsci's political thought, and the origins of postmodernity. He has also played an important role as 'intellectual gatekeeper' to this milieu, via his editorships of New Left Review, New Left Books, and Verso, through which he has helped shape the intellectual climate of the left." "Paul Blackledge considers the evolution of Anderson's thought within the context of a study of the Anglo-American and European left from the 1960s to the early twenty-first century. His review of Anderson's work involves a survey of a host of Marxists, critical theorists and postmodernists, including Althusser, Brenner, Deutscher, Fukuyama, Gramsci, Jameson, Lukacs, Poulantzas, Thompson and Sartre."--BOOK JACKET.
