SHORTLISTED FOR THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL
BIOGRAPHY 2017 'A deeply original and illuminating account of
Marx's journey through the intellectual history of the nineteenth
century... a profound reappraisal and a gripping read' Christopher
Clark, author of The Sleepwalkers As the nineteenth century
unfolded, its inhabitants had to come to terms with an unparalleled
range of political, economic, religious and intellectual
challenges. Distances shrank, new towns sprang up, and ingenious
inventions transformed the industrial landscape. It was an era
dominated by new ideas about God, human capacities, industry,
revolution, empires and political systems - and above all, the
shape of the future. One of the most distinctive and arresting
contributions to this debate was made by Karl Marx, the son of a
Jewish convert in the Rhineland and a man whose entire life was
devoted to making sense of the hopes and fears of the nineteenth
century world. Gareth Stedman Jones's impressive biography explores
how Marx came to his revolutionary ideas in an age of intellectual
ferment, and the impact they had on his times. In a world where so
many things were changing so fast, would the coming age belong to
those enthralled by the events which had brought this world into
being, or to those who feared and loathed it? This remarkable book
allows the reader to understand as never before the world of ideas
which shaped Marx's world - and in turn made Marx shape our own.
