In a dozen newly commissioned essays, British scholars of literature and women's studies explore the achievements of Karl Marx's youngest daughter as a feminist and radical socialist, aspiring actress, working journalist, and literary translator. They discuss such topics as revisiting Edward Aveling, her view of Shakespeare, she and Oscar Wilde as examples of the genders of socialism, Margaret Harkness and the idea of socialist community, and the intersecting lives of Marx and Mathilde Blind. They are based on papers presented at a March 1998 conference in London. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
