Throughout, references to Gramsci’s prison writing follow the international standard: notebook number, according to the 1975 Italian critical edition (edited by Valentino Gerratana), followed by number of note. In this way, notebook (quaderno) 12, note 3 becomes Q12§3. We have also given page references to one of the English anthologies of Gramsci’s writings, where possible.
