Editorial Reviews

'David McLellan's Karl Marx has been the standard English biography of Marx since its publication. The reappearance of this admirably balanced work in a new and updated edition is to be warmly welcomed.' - Eric Hobsbawm, FBA, Emeritus Professor, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

Reviews of the previous edition:

'An authoritative and thorough re-creation of Marx's life and thought - and the interaction between the two...undoubtedly the best one-volume biography of the great man in existence.' - Sunday Times

'It could be said that the biographers have only changed Marx in various ways; the point is to interpret him - and McLellan has filled a very real gap in doing this as fairly as he can...he has produced the most up-to-date, well-informed, reliable and sensible biography so far.' - New Society
