Radical Thinkers

"Since it first started publishing in 1975, Verso has always taken pains to be at the forefront of critical debates. To celebrate this success Verso is relaunching twelve of its classic titles, written by some of their most respected and influential authors.

From Althusser, who overturned the philosophical study of Marx, to Jean Baudrillard who heralded the dawn of the postmodern era, to Raymond Williams who introduced the study of contemporary culture — these are the greats. As well as being landmarks in philosophy and cultural theory that had a profound effect on thought when they were published, they are also classics that continue to stimulate contemporary readers."
