Marx & Engels Collected Works Vol 13: Marx and Engels:1854-1855

The Marx/Engels Collected Works is the largest collection of translations of the complete works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels covering the period 1835-1895. The 50 volumes contain all the written works of Marx and Engels including formerly unpublished manuscripts and letters. The volumes are organised into three groups: (1) philosophical, historical, political, economic and other works, in chronological order; (2) Marx’s Capital with his preliminary versions and works directly connected with it, particularly the Economic Manuscripts of 1857-58, better known under the editorial heading Grundisse der Kritik der Politischen Okonomie ; (3) the letters of Marx and Engels which are extremely rich in theoretical content and provide an indispensable source for the study of the biographies of Marx and Engels. This digital collection gives scholars access to the complete oeuvre in a fully searchable format. Volume 13 contains articles written by Marx and Engels February 1854 to February 1855. For the most part these articles were published in the New York Daily Tribune and the democratic German newspaper the Neue Oder-Zeitung. The articles deal with a broad range of contemporary socio-economic and political problems, in particular with the military conflict between Russia and Turkey which broke out in 1853 and in 1854 developed into the Crimean War, as well as with questions of the democratic and working-class movement. A considerable number of articles in this volume deal with the situation in Spain, providing an explanation of the key features of the country’s history and developing an understanding of the general problems of bourgeois revolutions.
