Marx & Engels Collected Works Vol 45: Marx and Engels: 1874-1879

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 The 50 volumes contain all the written works of Marx and Engels including formerly unpublished manuscripts and letters.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 45 contains Marx and Engels letters to each other and to third persons from January 1874 to December 1879. In particular they reflect the new stage in the history of the working-class movement and Marxist theory that began in the 1870s after the Paris Commune. The correspondence is a rich source for the study of the emergence of socialist parties in numerous countries, and for the spread of Marx and Engels’ ideas.
