Dear All 

FYI

There was in the UK a bit of 'Gramsci cult' in the early 70s. 

Part of this [INMHO] was an attempt by the Left to repackage itself, 
since the failure of orthodox Trotskyism to make any significant gains 
then or since was already quite clear.

However there was some genuine interest in what he said and the movement 
that he came from.

New Edinburgh Review gave over several issues to reprints / translations 
of his work and I still have a copy of 'Proletarian Order' by 
Gwyn Williams [who must surely be dead by now]. Its a long time since I 
read it so I can't really offer any comment.

it was subtitled 

'Antonio Gramsci and the origins of communism in Italy 1911 - 1921'

published in 1975 by Pluto

ISBN 09 028 18 67 8 [Pbk]

Hope this is of some use if people want to carry on with this thread.

DG
