Helen Macfarlane, a young British woman, was living in Vienna when
she was radicalized by the 1848 Revolution. On returning to England
in 1850, she became a journalist for the radical wing of the
Chartist movement. The Chartists received support from such
luminaries as Karl Marx and Fredrich Engles; the latter had written
on the movement's political significance. It was Marx who described
Macfarlane as the most original writer in the Chartist press.
Macfarlane was the first English translator of The Communist
Manifesto. Her original translation is included in this edition.
She is also the first of the British to comment, critically and
extensively, on the revolutionary implications of Hegel's
philosophy. After having been hidden for a century her stature as a
revolutionary, writer, and feminist emerges in David Black's
seminal work. With diligent research into her life and work, Black,
in Helen Macfarlane: A Feminist, Revolutionary Journalist, and
Philosopher in Mid 19th Century England, recreates her intellectual
and political world at a key turning point in European history.
This work also includes Macfarlane's original translation of The
Communist Manifesto.
