Full Description
As we approach the centenary of the death of Italian journalist, radical liberal, and anti-fascist intellectual Piero Gobetti (1901-26), his insights into liberalism and anti-fascism resonate more than ever, particularly in light of the resurgence of reactionary politics reminiscent of fascism and ongoing debates surrounding (neo-)liberalism.
An Intellectual against Fascism offers anglophone readers a new translation of over thirty articles that span Gobetti's entire journalistic career, half of which have previously been unavailable in English. The volume is thoughtfully organized to allow readers to trace the progressive development of his ideas. To enhance understanding of Gobetti's thought, this expertly curated collection includes his writings on literature, theatre, and literary criticism. It also features the complete text of La Rivoluzione Liberale (1924), his magnum opus, which has not been available in its entirety before. An extensive critical apparatus accompanies the collection, including a preface, an introduction, and concise introductions and notes for each article.
