A trenchant analysis the thought of Sebastiano Timpanaro, one of the most original leftist thinkers of the 20th century
Sebastiano Timpanaro (1923-2000) was one of the most original leftist thinkers of the 20th century. His thought spans a unique range of subjects, from materialism to classical philology, from the Enlightenment to Freud, from science to socialism, from the history of linguistics to 19th century Italian literature. Timpanaro confronted this manifold material with addictive clarity and incisive honesty. This book is the first serious attempt in any language to introduce Timpanaro's thought in its entirety. Drawing on original archival research, Geue shows the astonishing breadth of Timpanaro's intellect and his eccentric dual profile as a Marxist and technical philologist. From this emerges not only a compelling portrait of a neglected radical thinker, but also a rallying call for the Left to revive its commitment to scientific truth and rigorous detail.

Tom Geue teaches Classical Studies at the Australian National University. He has written about the mysteries of anonymous writing in the ancient world, including the books Author Unknown: The Power of Anonymity in Ancient Rome (2019) and Juvenal and the Poetics of Anonymity (2017). He has also written Marxist criticism on classical Latin poetry. In 2021, his original research was recognised with the award of a Philip Leverhulme Prize.
