ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thomson, Boris / Thomson, R. D. B., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Professor Thompson's subject is the uneasy position of art within Marxist ideology: what part can the arts of the past play in the new society?

Professor Thompson suggests that the power inherent in art to resist social and ideological changes undermines all rationalistic theories of art, those of the Marxists and those fashionable in the West.
