Most of you are aware of the publication of this bibliography in mid-1991 in the form of the «Annali 1989» of the Fondazione Istituto Gramsci (Rome: Editori Riuniti, 1991. Pp. xxiii-457. Lire 75,000). Four or five years ago, when I began working on this project, I had no idea that it would become such a large enterprise: nearly 500 pages with 7061 entries in 28 languages! This is the reason why we felt it necessary to offer this brief introduction in English to the nature and use of the bibliography.
The printed order of the bibliography is alphabetical by the names of authors. There are, however, two exceptions to this order [END PAGE 5] and both occur at the very beginning. Anonymous authors are indicated by two asterisks ("**"), numbers 1 through 181; the series of collective edited works are introduced by the alphabetized titles of the works themselves (numbers 182 through 264). We might easily have immersed both of these series in the more general alphabetical order; however, we chose not to do so because there are some advantages in the system which we finally adopted. The 181 anonymous entries are listed chronologically which surely makes them much less difficult to find. It is probably also easier to find the collective works on Gramsci when they are listed as a group.
Of course, the entire bibliography, since it is computerized, might have been presented in a variety of other modes: by year of publication, by the language of the entries, or even by themes or topics. But none of these alternatives are comparable in ease of consultation with a bibliography organized by the names of authors. Furthermore, the essential information provided by those options can readily be provided in much more succinct ways.
This is what we have tried to do with the Appendices. Our first aim was to supply as much useful organized information as possible from the printed records themselves; the second was to indicate, if only implicitly, some strategies for future research so that the next edition of the bibliography will be more complete and accurate.
The first appendix (pp. 413-19) contains the Index of Languages. This lists under the name of each language the specific entry numbers which were published in that language. Italian, with its 4323 entries, has been excluded since that number represents 61% of the total! The 2738 non-Italian entries in the bibliography are thus 39% of the total. Of these, 909, or about 13% were published in the English language. Indeed, our work in the collecting of foreign language contributions is far from complete. What is there was done through a combination of the use of electronic databases and old-fashioned correspondence with interested persons in many countries. Some languages are already well-represented such as French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, and the languages of Yugoslavia. But more work needs to be done on the Spanish and Portuguese entries, and there are vast lacunae in the Eastern European languages of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Romania. Large [END PAGE 6] gaps exist in the entries for Scandinavia and the Netherlands. Last but certainly not least, we have very little in the many languages of Africa and Asia. We hope and trust that these lacunae will be eliminated in the forthcoming supplements to this bibliography. We are relying on Gramsci specialists in all countries to send their publications and bibliographies to the Fondazione Istituto Gramsci in Rome. Bibliographic information can also be sent directly to the editor [John M. Cammett; 905 West End Ave., New York, N.Y., USA, 10025].
Meanwhile, in the Index of Languages all contributions (except those in Italian) are listed by number according to the language of publication. It takes only a few minutes for those interested in a particular language to check that list for accuracy and completeness.
The second appendix (pp. 421-34) is the Index of Years, that is of the years in which the separate entries were published. Page 422, called in Italian "Occorrenze," summarizes the annual "productivity" of publications on Gramsci. It seems to us that much can be learned, or confirmed, from these figures. The record shows that before 1937, Gramsci remained relatively unknown to the international Communist movement and even to many members of his own party. Prior to that year, he was referred to in only 44 publications (in this connection, cf. number 24, entitled Gramsci ritrovato, 1937-1947, in the list of recent books published in this Newsletter). There were many reasons for this relative obscurity, including Gramsci's own personal reticence. But the power and lasting effect of his personality and leadership did become evident in the many publications which immediately followed his death there were 75 published in 1937 and 1938. Since then, Gramsci's early influence has been repeatedly confirmed in the several hundreds of "testimonials" which continue to be published up to the present (See the listings under "Memoirs" in the Index of Subjects).
The hiatus of World War II--we find only nine entries between 1939 and 1944--was soon followed by the publication of the Lettere dal carcere and the Quaderni del carcere. The singularity of this enterprise is too little appreciated. No other Communist Party of the time, apart from the PCI, had the courage and foresight to undertake a project of this kind. For it was clear even then that these publications represented a new investigation of Marxism and its [END PAGE 7] application to the past and present. From 1947 through 1953, there was an average of more than fifty publications a year on Gramsci. Thus it is clear that his national and international fame began in those years.
The next quantitative change, a true and proper "breakthrough," occurred in 1966. From then on, the "annual production" never fell below 135, and was usually much higher. Special attention ought to be given to these and other rather abrupt changes which surely involve the interplay of a great many political, social, economic, and cultural factors. A similar and nearly equally dramatic increase occurred in 1974. From then through the rest of the decade and into 1981, more than 200 entries a year appear. This substantial increase is probably related in several ways to the electoral successes of the PCI during that time. In the rest of the '80s, through 1986, there was some decline to an average of about 150 per year. In conclusion, we cannot fail to highlight the extraordinary production of the years 1977 and 1987, marking respectively the 40th and 50th anniversaries of Gramsci's death. For those years we have a total of 1275 publications, more than 18% of the entire bibliography! To facilitate quantitative studies of annual and multi- annual production as well as qualitative studies of changing themes and focuses of research, we have included lists by year and entry number of all the contributions through 1988 (see pp. 423-34).
The Index of Subjects is an indispensable addition to the bibliography. Without it, we have little more than an author-alphabetized list of publications. With it, we have the means to begin scholarly research on a great variety of subjects. Of course, this feature too has its weaknesses as well as strengths. Not all the entries have been indexed with equal care. In many cases, the publications themselves were not available at the time of indexing. In other cases, some of the more general key-words were overused: Councils, Hegemony, Intellectuals, and Literature are examples. Perhaps its greatest value lies in its inclusion of specific individuals and events which are dealt with in the entries--e.g. Dante, Rosa Luxemburg, and the Svolta del 1930.
(I had actually included dozens of other names in the Index. My editors in Rome, however, decided that because many specific references were not as inclusive as they should have been, in most cases only general terms were to be included. I understand their concern, [END PAGE 8] but also feel that some of the usefulness of the index was lost in that decision. Our publishing schedule left no time to debate the question. I had also hoped to include an Index of Place Names. But during the period of last minute changes I had no time to eliminate a basic ambiguity in that list: that between (a) "place" as the country, region, or city of publication and (b) "place" as the subject of the publication. Since then (but obviously too late), I have eliminated the ambiguity. It is a shame that I did not resolve the problem earlier because the inclusion of such terms as Sardinia, Ghilarza, Turin, and Vienna would have greatly enhanced the value of the Index. Perhaps I could publish this separately, along with a more detailed Index of Subjects, either as a pamphlet or in a future issue of the IGS Newsletter.)
A few of the names-subjects in the Index require some explanation. The category Memoirs consists of testimonials, comments by an editor on separately published letters and articles by Gramsci, and other primary or quasi-primary sources for his life and thought. Although there are more than 400 items listed in this rubric, we are convinced that Memoirs constitutes one of the most useful features of this bibliography. It should be used in connection with another category, that of PCd'I, which contains references to publications concentrating more on the history of his party up to the time of his death than on the life and work of the man himself.
I should like to close by restating that this bibliography does not include works by Gramsci himself, whether in Italian or in translation. It does, however, include as often as possible the prefaces and introductions by other persons to those works. It also does not include any writings on Gramsci's life and thought published after 1988. This very issue of the IGS Newsletter does contain an annotated list of books and collections of articles on Gramsci published from 1989 to 1991.
A large number of very important books on Gramsci have appeared since the last year (1988) covered by the Bibliografia [END PAGE 9] gramsciana. They have greatly increased our knowledge of Gramsci's personal and political life both before and during his imprisonment (cf. esp. numbers 6, 13, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, and 29 below). We also have several very recent publications of Gramsci's writings both in Italian and in translation.
The critical edition of Gramsci's pre-prison letters has appeared very recently in Italy: Lettere: 1908-1926. Edited by Antonio Santucci. Torino: Einaudi, 1992. This volume is an extremely important addition to the corpus of Gramscian texts; it contains a number of previously unpublished letters as well as a valuable critical apparatus. A selection of these letters has been published in German translation: Antonio Gramsci: Briefe 1908-1926. Eine Auswahl. Edited by Antonio Santucci. Europa-Verlag, 1991. Santucci's edition of the pre-prison letters has generated a great deal of interest in Italy; the weekly review Panorama (16 Feb. 1992) carried a four-page report on the book.
The 1975 critical edition of the Quaderni del carcere (edited by V. Gerratana) is also being translated into German and the first two volumes have already been published: Gefängnis Hefte. Vols. 1&2. Edited by Klaus Bochmann with an Introduction by Wolfgang Fritz Haug. Hamburg: Argument, 1991. This edition is projected to appear in 10 volumes.
The third volume of the French critical edition of the Quaderni was published last year: Cahiers de prison. Cahiers 14, 15, 16, 17 et 18. Edited by Robert Paris. Paris: Gallimard, 1991. The two previously published volumes of this edition contain Notebooks 6-9 and Notebooks 10-13. Two more volumes are being planned, one will include Notebooks 1-5 and the other Notebooks 19-29.
A number of English translations and editions of Gramsci's writings have appeared in the past few years:
An Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings, 1916-1935. Edited by David Forgacs. New York: Schocken Books, 1989. Pp. 446. This is the first substantial one-volume collection of Gramsci's writings from both the Quaderni and the pre-prison years. The general introduction as well as the shorter introductions at the start of each section are useful and important. [END PAGE 10]
The University of Minnesota Press has recently reprinted the English editions of Gramsci's pre- prison writings Selections from Political Writings 1910-1920 and Selections from Political Writings 1921-1926. Lynne Lawner's fine 1973 English edition of many of Gramsci's Letters from Prison was reissued in 1989 by The Noonday Press (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). Another somewhat more comprehensive, though perhaps less annotated edition, was published in England in late 1988: Gramsci's Prison Letters. A Selection trans. and introduced by Hamish Henderson. London: Zwan (in association with Edinburgh Review). Meanwhile, Frank Rosengarten is preparing a complete critical edition in English of the Prison Letters, to be published by the Columbia University Press (translator: Raymond Rosenthal).
Last, but surely not least, we now have the first volume of the complete critical edition in English of the Quaderni del carcere. This is Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks. Volume I. Edited with Introduction by Joseph A. Buttigieg. Translated by Joseph A. Buttigieg and Antonio Callari. New York: Columbia University Press, 1992. Pp. xxiii-608. The Introduction (pp. 1-64) is itself a work of excellent scholarship. This first volume includes only the first two Notebooks because so much scholarly addenda was necessary for the first volume. I am certain that when the other volumes are completed, Gramsci's solid position as a leading figure in world culture in the late twentieth century will be fully confirmed and enhanced.
For the next Newsletter we are gathering information on the state/progress of translations of Gramsci into other languages.
