The role of art in Marcuse’s work has often been neglected,
misinterpreted or underplayed. His critics accused him of a
religion of art and aesthetics that leads to an escape from
politics and society. Yet, as this volume demonstrates, Marcuse
analyzes culture and art in the context of how it produces forces
of domination and resistance in society, and his writings on
culture and art generate the possibility of liberation and
radical social transformation.

The material in this volume is a rich collection of many of
Marcuse’s published and unpublished writings, interviews and
talks, including ‘Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz’, reflections on
Proust, and Letters on Surrealism; a poem by Samuel Beckett for
Marcuse’s eightieth birthday with exchange of letters; and many
articles that explore the role of art in society and how it
provides possibilities for liberation.

This volume will be of interest to those new to Marcuse,
generally acknowledged as a major figure in the intellectual and
social milieus of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as to the
specialist, giving access to a wealth of material from the
Marcuse Archive in Frankfurt and his private collection in San
Diego, some of it published here in English for the first time.
