As the first monograph dedicated to Walter Gropius’s activity in Britain, this book provides a comprehensive account of the Bauhaus founder’s contributions to architecture and design while living in London between 1934 and 1937. Drawing on earlier and later decades, this reveals the close contact between British, German and American design circles, with Gropius bridging parallel developments.In its approach, this book concentrates on the individuals working to aid Gropius in Britain and spurring the architect’s enduring dominance in English-language histories. This includes his architectural partner Maxwell Fry, his translator P. Morton Shand, his employer Jack Pritchard and many other prominent figures such as Frank Pick, Herbert Read, Elizabeth Denby and Henry Morris. The vital role of Gropius’s wife Ise is also highlighted, particularly as her English-language capabilities far exceeded his. By uncovering this wider network, the collaborative nature of his success is demonstrated. Such an approach reveals Gropius’s contributions beyond buildings to various debates in the period. These spanned subjects including standardisation, prefabrication, democratisation, the planning of high rises, the influence of commercialism, and the reform of architectural education and practice. Beyond design discourse, the broader impact of nationalism is considered, with the support Gropius received contrasted against the attacks Jewish émigrés endured.This book will appeal to those interested in the Bauhaus, interwar Britain, architectural media and emigration studies. By applying revisionist approaches and highlighting the importance of discourse beyond built forms, this book advances our knowledge of the period. The transnational focus holds significance for architectural developments in Germany, Britain and America, following Gropius’s trajectory. While concentrated primarily on the interwar period, the postwar impact of exchanges is revealed, leading up until Gropius’s death in 1969.

This book marks a missed encounter between two of the most influential Marxist thinkers of our age, Walter Benjamin and Antonio Gramsci, studied here for the first time side by side.Benjamin and Gramsci were contemporaries, whose births and deaths took place within a few years of each other in Western Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Two Marxists sui generis, they radically changed Marxism’s themes and vocabulary, profoundly influencing the most significant analyses and debates. At a time in which Marxism was considered to be outdated and in crisis, both Gramsci’s and Benjamin’s thoughts provided resources for its renewal: particularly in postcolonial studies for Gramsci and in new media studies for Benjamin. Both were victims of fascism, on the threshold of the catastrophe of the Second World War. These two philosophers’ posthumous fortune depended on the transmission of their thought, which was first entrusted to friends and comrades, and then to entire generations of scholars from a wide range of disciplines.Editors, Dario Gentili, Elettra Stimilli, and Gabriele Guerra explore with leading voices on Benjamin and Gramsci the most relevant and topical issues today. The book gives an indispensable new perspective in Marxism for students and researchers alike.
