Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) is well known as Karl Marx’s long-time political partner. Biographers have invariably filtered his life-story to show how he reached that ending. However, the Engels-archive for the decade preceding the inauguration of the partnership in 1845 is extraordinarily rich. This Introduction explains how Engels Before Marx is conceived and organized to present young Friedrich’s world from his own perspective, and to convey to the reader the excitement of his life and times. Thematic chapters, incorporating clear chronologies, show what the youthful Engels achieved in his own right against formidable odds. |
