About Antonio Gramsci
Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) was an Italian Marxist theorist and politician. He was a founding member and leader of the Communist Party of Italy and was subsequently imprisoned by Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime. In prison he wrote numerous notebooks and letters, which were collected into the classic Prison Notebooks and Prison Letters (Pluto, 1997).
