“... the US in 1978, in the Soviet Union in 1989). In the mid-Thirties he found supporters, including Georg Lukács, on the board of the journals Literary Critic and Literary Overview. He was able to publish criticism and sometimes used his real name, Klimentov, as a pseudonym. However, he came under constant attack (even a parable he had written for a ...”

“... or The Sickness unto Death? Some entries on Marx in the index turn out to be discussions of Georg Lukács or the Frankfurt School. An account of Hegel’s legacy focuses on the 20th century, long after the work of his most famous legatee. Bourke’s study is so offhand about Marxism because it threatens to dismantle the opposition Bourke sets up ...”

“... was run by the brother of the painter and Communist Party member Rudolf Schlichter. Works by Georg Grosz hung on the wall; Kurt Tucholsky, Alfred Döblin and John Heartfield were regulars. Brecht and his crowd were fascinated by America, by its new, brutal version of capitalism which was remaking the world, by its technology and its popular culture. The ...”

“... writings on the Affair are not necessarily a reliable guide to the underlying logic of the novels. Georg Lukács said that Balzac was a novelist with reactionary views and progressive ‘tendencies’. Zola is a novelist with progressive views and reactionary tendencies. It is not clear what, if anything, the private correspondence included in Pagès’s ...”

“... of a young American professor in pursuit of tenure as it would be unthinkable in the writing of Georg Lukács. It is the kind of thing anybody might say, and academics are not paid for being just anybody. There are also, however, political and institutional reasons for the rise of critique, which Felski seemingly regards as beyond her brief. It has always ...”

“... he cautions Constant in spring 1959. ‘Take note of it.’ A Hegelian Marxist in the line of Georg Lukács, Debord looked for art to be superseded not by philosophy but into praxis. ‘Nothing has ever interested me beyond a certain practice of life,’ he comments more than once in these letters, and clearly he does not mean at the level of individual ...”

“... social and cultural theory, from Mikhail Bakhtin and Roman Jakobson to Jacques Lacan and Georg Lukacs: given the concern with collective representations, it is surprising to find no reference to Emile Durkheim. However, other essays in the volume have little in common with Greenblatt’s work, beyond some vague concern for the relation between ...”

“... materialism. It was not until the Marxist rediscovery of Hegel, most notably with the writings of Georg Lukács, that this sterile coupling could be set aside. It has cropped up again in our own time in the incongruous Kantian turn of some post-structuralist thought, which is just as incapable as mechanistic Marxism of plucking moral norms from its view of ...”

“... calls the ‘hand-built, rock-sure feel’ of a poem like this. But modern objects, typified for Georg Lukács by Charles Bovary’s extraordinarily convoluted, visually unrepresentable hat, have also shed what seems to us the unalienated candour of material things in Beowulf, which exist more as narrative elements than as literary enigmas. In any case, we ...”

“... pleasure but to be fully invested in realism as Jameson understands it. Paul de Man once said that Georg Lukács wrote about the novel as if he was the novel. Jameson doesn’t do that, but he does write about the novel in terms of a long-standing intimacy with the form, as if it were a roommate, say. This is a report from the interior. The novel rises in late ...”

“... sense emerges that the erotic power was with the younger man, while the older man was lost or, as Georg Lukács put it in The Theory of the Novel (1920), in a phrase that resonated with Kracauer, ‘transcendentally homeless’.Adorno described Kracauer as ‘a man with no skin, as though everything external attacked his defenceless interior, as though he ...”

“... himself acquired the dogma from such ‘Frankfurt School’ followers of avowed arch-conspirator Georg Lukacs and the sometime OSS and CIA agent, sometime Communist, and active conspirator Herbert Marcuse, who used to begin his lectures with the singsong ‘There are no conspiracies in history.’ The ‘authoritarian personality’ dogma of such ...”

“... their objective class interests in a way they could not yet do themselves. In this manner, as Georg Lukács puts it, ‘the party, on the basis of its knowledge of society in its totality, represents the interests of the whole proletariat (and in doing so mediates the interests of all the oppressed – the future of mankind).’ The virtual ...”

He was unemployed, unmarried and unloved (although his stroppy housekeeper was five months pregnant with their child); and since the arrival of the French soldiers he was homeless as well. Though he had recently been given the title ...”

“... more than half a Jacobite. The literary academic, especially since the appearance in English of Georg Lukacs’s Historical Novel in 1962, has seen him as an intellectual of quite a different cast: the first novelist to represent the historical process, the first portrayer of society in terms that Adam Smith might and Karl Marx did approve.
