Introduction
Enzo Traverso is a Paris-based intellectual historian who teaches at Cornell. He writes in a tradition of dissident Marxism with echoes of Gramsci, Isaac Deutscher and above all Walter Benjamin. To read Enzo's writing is to experience the urgency, the still-burning presence of the past in our lives today. His latest book, Revolution and Intellectual History, published by Verso, is no exception. It's a remarkably ambitious study of revolutionary passions, images and ideas.
