Worldwide political changes since 1990 have driven a re-evaluation
of Marxism, a renaissance in Marx-studies, and a renewed interest
in his lifelong intellectual partner and personal friend Friedrich
Engels. In Terrell Carver's 30th anniversary edition of his
pioneering biographical study of the 'junior partner' - which still
remains the only one to balance Engels's pre-Marx, with-Marx, and
post-Marx writings, giving a rounded view of his life and thought -
Carver adopts a comparative and critical approach, neither taking
the 'perfect partnership' as a given, nor presuming that all the
intellectual fireworks were Marx's. Engels's famously 'bourgeois'
class position and 'champagne socialist' lifestyle emerge as
resolutions rather than contradictions - they provided
opportunities for activist writing and politicking that would not
otherwise occur. This study is driven by questions that readers
might like to ask about Engels, rather than by the sheer weight of
archival materials and stereotypical framing. A newly written
introduction provides reflections on how politics since the 1990s
has brought Marx, Engels, and Marxisms back to life, and how
publication of the Marx-Engels 'collected works' in a definitive
edition, and in English translation, have promoted interpretive
innovation. Engels himself did his best to establish his own
biographical narrative. This book enables readers to assess that
dominating view for themselves.
