The Collected Works of
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels present Engels’s works and letters in English
translation (or in the original English) in approximately 50 volumes. The first
volume appeared in 1975, and the publishers are Progress of Moscow, Lawrence
& Wishart of London, and International of New York, referred to below as
the Progress consortium. All the major works of Engels (and the joint works with
Marx) mentioned in the text are available in Progress editions, and The Condition of the Working Class in England is
also translated and edited by W. O. Henderson and W. H. Chaloner (2nd edn.,
Blackwell, Oxford, 1971; Stanford University Press,
1968).
The Selected Works of
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in one volume was first published in 1968 and has
been reprinted by the Progress consortium; of Engels’s major works it includes
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific and The Origin of
the Family, Private Property and the State, with Ludwig Feuerbach and the
End of Classical German Philosophy. The Selected Works in two volumes from the same publishers includes
more of Engels’s shorter writings, such as the 1859 review ‘Karl Marx: A
Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy’ and ‘On Authority’. Engels: Selected Writings, edited by W. O.
Henderson (Penguin, Harmondsworth, and Baltimore, Md, 1967) contains selections
from The Condition of the Working Class in
England and the full text of the ‘Outlines of a Critique of
Political Economy’, as well as other economic, historical, philosophical and
military writings. Engels as Military Critic,
edited by W. O. Henderson and W. H. Chaloner (Manchester University Press, 1959;
Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn., 1976), presents a selection of lesser-known
articles of the 1860s. German Revolutions,
edited by Leonard Krieger (University of Chicago Press, 1968), includes
The Peasant War in Germany and Germany: Revolution
and Counter-Revolution.
أعمال عنه
I am indebted to the factual material collected and very
well documented in W. O. Henderson’s The Life of
Friedrich Engels in two volumes (Frank Cass, London, and
Portland, Or., 1976). Gustav Mayer’s two-volume biography in German is published
as Friedrich Engels in an abridged English
translation by Gilbert and Helen Highet, edited by R. H. S. Crossman (Chapman
& Hall, London, 1936; H. Fertig, New York, 1969). David McLellan’s
Modern Masters Engels (Fontana/Collins,
Glasgow, 1977; Penguin, Baltimore, Md., 1978) presents a brief account of
Engels’s life and works.
Engels’s major works are discussed in Fritz Nova’s
Friedrich Engels: His Contributions to Political
Theory (Vision Press, London, 1968; Philosophical Library, New
York, 1967). Engels, Manchester and the Working Class
by Steven Marcus (Random House, New York, 1974) presents an analysis
of the work from a literary point of view. Engels’s early works on British
politics feature in Michael Levin, The Condition of
England Question: Carlyle, Mill, Engels (Macmillan, London, and
St Martin’s, New York, 1998). His late work The Origin
of the Family, Private Property and the State has become a
classic of Marxistfeminism and gender studies; see Janet Sayers, Mary Ann Evans,
Naneke Redclift (eds.), Engels Revisited: New Feminist
Essays (Tavistock, London, 1987), and two articles by Terrell
Carver, ‘Engels’s Feminism’, History of Political
Thought, 6/3 (1985), 479–89, and ‘Theorizing Men in Engels’s
Origin of the Family’, Masculinities, 2/1 (1994), 67–77. There are two
recent edited volumes offering critical discussions of a wide range of topics
that Engels was concerned with: Christopher J. Arthur (ed.), Engels Today: A Centenary Appreciation (Macmillan,
Basingstoke, and St Martin’s, New York, 1996), and Manfred B. Steger and Terrell
Carver (eds), Engels after Marx (Pennsylvania
State University Press, University Park, Pa., 1999). The Marx-Engels
relationship is considered in Norman Levine, The Tragic
Deception: Marx contra Engels (Clio Books, Oxford, and Santa
Barbara, Calif., 1975). I have also published Marx and
Engels: The Intellectual Relationship (Wheatsheaf Books,
Brighton, and Bloomington, Ind., Indiana University Press, 1983), and a
biographical study Friedrich Engels: His Life and
Thought (Macmillan, Basingstoke, 1989, and St Martin’s, New York,
1990).
The relationship of Engels to Marxism is discussed in
George Lichtheim’s Marxism: An Historical and Critical
Study (2nd edn., Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1968; Praeger,
1965), and in Richard N. Hunt, The Political Ideas of
Marx and Engels, vol. 1, Marxism and
Totalitarian Democracy (Macmillan, London, 1975; University of
Pittsburgh Press, 1974). This topic is covered in three classic studies: Leszek
Kolakowski, Main Currents of Marxism,
translated by P. S. Falla, vol. 1 (Oxford University Press, Oxford and New York,
1978); David McLellan, Marxism after Marx
(Macmillan, London, 1979; Harper & Row, New York, 1980); and Alvin W.
Gouldner, The Two Marxisms (Macmillan,
London; Seabury Press, New York, 1980). Two recent studies on this theme are S.
H. Rigby, Engels and the Formation of Marxism: History,
Dialectics and Revolution (Manchester University Press,
Manchester and New York, 1992), and J. D. Hunley, The
Life and Thought of Friedrich Engels: A Reinterpretation (Yale
University Press,New Haven, and London, 1991).
Four articles of interest in which Engels’s work is
discussed are: Terrell Carver, ‘Marx, Engels, and Dialectics’, Political Studies, 28/3 (September 1980), 353–63;
Gareth Stedman Jones, ‘Engels and the End of Classical German Philosophy’,
New Left Review, 79 (May-June 1973),
17–36; the same author’s ‘Engels and the Genesis of Marxism’, New Left Review, 106 (November-December 1977),
79–104; and Paul Thomas, ‘Marx and Science’, Political
Studies, 24/1 (March 1976), 1–23. The last-named article has been
particularly helpful to me in working out my views on
Engels.
There is now an excellent Marx-Engels bibliography in
English: Cecil L. Eubanks, Karl Marx and Friedrich
Engels: An Analytical Bibliography (Garland Press, London and New
York, 1977).
