   Marzani writes that he takes great pride in being the first to translate Gramsci from Italian into English. Hobsbawm credits Louis Marks’s The Modern Prince (London, 1956) as probably the first selection of Gramsci’s writings in a non-Italian language, a year earlier. The archive reports the conflict rather than resolving it: Marzani is likely first in America, and the plain claim of first-in-English does not survive Hobsbawm.

   Eugene Genovese reviewed Cammett in Studies on the Left in 1967. The journal, founded at Wisconsin in 1959, is where corporate liberalism was developed, and its editorial circle put Genovese alongside Tom Hayden and Staughton Lynd. This is where the Gramsci line meets the American New Left.
