The Prison Letters

A little late this link, from last week's Gruaniad on Gramsci's Prison Letters. Of course, a piece on the Prison Notebooks would have been more illuminating, although harded to reconcile with the biographically-fixated editorial values of the broadsheet literary sections. Still, that's not to say the letters are not worth reading, they are but they remain a footnote to Gramsci's political and cultural writings.
