Part Four of a comprehensive collection of Rosa Luxemburg's writing
This 600-page volume of Luxemburg’s Complete Works contains her
writings On Revolution from 1906 to 1909—covering the 1905–06
Russian Revolution, an epoch-making event, and its aftermath. Over
80 per cent of writings on this volume have never before appeared
in English. The volume contains numerous writings never before
available in English, such as her pathbreaking essay “Lessons of
the Three Dumas,” which presents a unique perspective on the

of the 1640s, and numerous writings on of the role of the mass
strike in fomenting revolutionary transformation. All of the

Polish, and Russian originals.
This collection is the first of three volumes of the Complete Works
devoted to the central theme of Rosa Luxemburg's life and
work-revolution. Spanning the years 1897 to the end of 1905, they
contain speeches, articles, and essays on the strikes, protests,
and political debates that culminated in the 1905 Russian
Revolution-one of the most important social upheavals of modern
times. Luxemburg's near-daily articles and reports during 1905 on
the ongoing revolution (which comprises the bulk of this volume)
shed new light on such issues as the relation of spontaneity and
organization, the role of national minorities in social revolution,
and the inseparability ofthe struggle for socialism from
revolutionary democracy. We become witness to Luxemburg's effort to
respond to the impulses, challenges, and ideas arising from a
living revolutionary process, which in turn becomes the source of
much of her subsequent political theory-such as her writings on the
mass strike, her strident internationalism, and her insistence that
revolutionary struggle never take its eyes off of the need to
transform the human personality. Virtually all of these writings
appear in English for the first time (translated from both German
and Polish) and many have only recently been identified as having
been written by Luxemburg.
