Soul and Form
"One of the most salient early works of the century is Georg Lukacs, Soul and Form." --H Net Reviews "Lukacs could never be accused of being quiet, in fact it is just his 'noisiness' that makes his work of contemporary interest. His statements against literary modernism from the 1950s are some of the most stringent and damning ever written, yet their complexity and argumentative strength demands the attention of a reader, even one lacking sympathy." --"Other Voices""The first theorist to make a significant advance on Marx's theory of ideology while remaining true to the dialectical approach of Marx himself was the Hungarian Communist leader, theoretician and literary critic Georg Lukacs." -"Ideology", David Hawkes
