SHORTLISTED FOR THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY 2017
'A deeply original and illuminating account of Marx's journey throughthe intellectual history of the nineteenth century... a profoundreappraisal and a gripping read' Christopher Clark, author of The Sleepwalkers
As the nineteenth century unfolded, its inhabitants had to come to termswith an unparalleled range of political, economic, religious andintellectual challenges. Distances shrank, new towns sprang up, andingenious inventions transformed the industrial landscape. It was an eradominated by new ideas about God, human capacities, industry,revolution, empires and political systems - and above all, the shape ofthe future.
One of the most distinctive and arrestingcontributions to this debate was made by Karl Marx, the son of a Jewishconvert in the Rhineland and a man whose entire life was devoted tomaking sense of the hopes and fears of the nineteenth century world.Gareth Stedman Jones's impressive biography explores how Marx came tohis revolutionary ideas in an age of intellectual ferment, and theimpact they had on his times.In a world where so many things werechanging so fast, would the coming age belong to those enthralled by theevents which had brought this world into being, or to those who fearedand loathed it?
This remarkable book allows the reader tounderstand as never before the world of ideas which shaped Marx's world -and in turn made Marx shape our own.
'A deeply original and illuminating account of Marx's journey through the intellectual history of the nineteenth century. Stedman Jones explores the friendships, affinities, rivalries and hatreds that shaped Marx's life with elegance and analytical brilliance. He anchors his narrative in a startlingly textured account of the society and politics of Marx's era.
Most important of all, he brings to life the thoughts of a plethora of other writers, showing how Marx's engagements with the thoughts of others enabled him to navigate a course that often had little or nothing to do with the Marxism of the twentieth century. A profound reappraisal and a gripping read.'
