Marxist aesthetic theory provides a powerful resource for relating art to its social, political and economic contexts. A Primer in Marxist Aesthetics is aimed at readers with little or no knowledge of the field or its vocabulary. Grounding its approach in the works of “classic Marxism” by Marx and Engels, it presents succinct extracts from their key texts and those of later writers; it offers a commentary on these texts in clear language; and indicates how Marxist aesthetic theory is put to use in the practical analysis of art forms. In an attempt to build an understanding of the subject in a step-by-step manner, each chapter contains exercises and questions which prompt reflection on and enquiry into the material. As a result, Marxist aesthetics is-seen as an area of contention father than a settled body of knowledge. The book will be useful to students undertaking a formal course of study and to other readers wishing to learn about the relations between Marxism and art.
