  7. H. Kaye, ‘Political theory and history: Antonio Gramsci and the British Marxist historians’, Italian Quarterly, 25 (97–8) (1984). This article detailed the acknowledgements of Thompson, Hill, Hilton, Hobsbawm and Rudé to Gramsci. The article also stressed the value of Gramsci’s notion of class consciousness compared to Lukácsian or Leninist views, thereby stressing what distinguished them and underplaying the common ground between these views.
