"[T]he essays which follow should, taken together, contain some of the most germinal and sophisticated writings in contemporary aesthetics, criticism, and art history. We are trying to show that their appearance in the Marxist fold, or their bearing the imprint of Marxist thought, is no mere accident. These essays, moreover, should also exhibit the distinctive instruments which Marxist analysis offers to scholars and readers in the field who may not otherwise be aware of them. These aims to not imply, of course, a plea for general acceptance of the tenets of Marxism. The anthology claims, rather, that for anyone interested in the philosophical, critical and historical feature of art, Marxism provides a valuable entree." -- from the editors' introduction.
