Description
An examination of French Marxists on art and literature reveals what was a previously neglected area of French Marxism: the degree to which the conflict of revolutionism versus reformism influenced a nonpolitical area of thought. Critical attitudes toward art and literature were inextricably conditioned by socialist factionalism in early Third Republic France. The arguments preventing socialist unity during this time period provided distinct and separate approaches to art and literary criticism, a phenomenon undetected in previous scholarship.
