Originally written in 1924, Literature and Revolution offers a rigorous Marxist critique of the cultural and literary climate in early Soviet Russia. Trotsky explores:
Russian literary trends between the 1905 and 1917 revolutions, including Futurism, Formalism, and Proletkult.
The relationship between art and class society—how art reflects the ruling class’s ideology, and the need for a revolutionary, genuinely emancipatory culture.
The dangers of elite isolation in the intelligentsia and the potential of culture in social transformation.
