Much attention has been directed to the pivotal debates of the 1930s amongst four luminaries of German Marxist culture -- between George Lukacs and Bertolt Brecht, which focused on realism in literature, and between Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno, which dealt with avant-garde and mass culture in capitalist society. "Marxism and Modernism" gives these wide-ranging controversies their most intensive treatment to date, analyzing them in terms of the major challenge to a Marxist aesthetics in this century: the interpretation of the formal and historical meaning, and social value, of cultural modernism. The intellectual developments of each of these four influential writers are examined, along with their responses to fascism and Stalinism, and their varying relations to the many strands of Marxist thought and modernist aesthetics. -- From publisher's description.

A concentrated study of the relationships between modernism and transformative left utopianism, this volume provides an introduction to Marx and Marxism for modernists, and an introduction to modernism for Marxists. Its guiding hypothesis is that Marx's writing absorbed the lessons of artistic and cultural modernity as much as his legacy concretely shaped modernism across multiple media.

Essays tracing the intellectual life of a quintessential New York City writer and thinker Marshall Berman was one of the great urbanists and Marxist cultural critics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and his brilliant, nearly sui generis book All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is a masterpiece of the literature on modernism. But like many New York intellectuals, the essay was his characteristic form, accommodating his multifarious interests and expressing his protean, searching exuberant mind. This collection includes early essays from and on the radical ’60s, on New York City, on literary figures from Kafka to Pamuk, and late essays on rock, hip hop, and gentrification. Concluding with his last essay, completed just before his death in 2013, this book is Berman’s intellectual autobiography, tracing his career as a thinker through the way he read the “signs in the street.””
