Well, you're the archive guy, David. But my volume 2 of Capital, which I am
looking at right now, says nothing about Engels translating Vol 2 of
Capital. It says "Extensive use has been made of the English translation of
the second volume of Capital, published by Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago,
1909." Mine is the standard 3-volume paperback boxed set that many of us
got back in the 70's. It's a reproduction of the Progress Publishers
edition.

I rewgret to say that I think my colleague and comrade David W is wrong 
here. The Kerr edition wasn't published until 13 years after Engels' 
death. My Moscow edition of Capital III just says "Edited by Friedrich 
Engels". Looking briefly at the introduction to the Penguin 
(retranslation) edition of Capital II I can find no reference to the 
translator of the original English version - although a closer 
examination might reveal some information.



Next I am looking at the Charles H Kerr blurb for the above-referenced
complete three-volume first English edition of Capital, and it also says
nothing about volumes 2 & 3 being translated by Engels. It does NOT
indicate who translated from the German. My thinking is that translation by
Engels would be a serious selling point, so I wonder why it is not
mentioned either by Charles H Kerr or by International Publishers.

I'm pretty sure I remember the name Wilhelm Wolff being associated with the
translation of Capital but I lack the energy to track it down. Now I am
going to message Lucia Pradella to see what she knows, she's been heavy
into the newly opened up original Marx writings for volumes 2 & 3.


The first volume of capital is dedicated to Wilhelm Wolff, who was a 
close friend and comrade of Marx, but he died before the completion of 
Capital Vol 1 and left Marx a small legacy. He had nothing to do with 
translating it.

Jon Flanders: I'm sure you meant to say Engels prepared a bunch of Marx's
work for publication, not that he translated them. Offhand, I don't ever
remember seeing "translated by Frederick Engels".

I think its a very good film, but for those who are not so up on Marx's 
history I made up this in case we show it around here.


Jon Flanders

*Cast of Characters: The Young Karl Marx*


*J**enny Von Westphalen*

Jenny Von Westphalen was born into a prominemt family in Trier and 
married Karl Marx after a lengthy engagement.


Is said to have been an early influence on his politics and was involved 
with his work throughout her difficult life.



*Friedrich Engels*


Lifelong co-worker with _Karl Marx 
_; co-authored 
_The Communist Manifesto 
_ among 
many others.


Engels translated many of Marx's works into English. In his last years 
he was the outstanding figure of the young Second International.




*Mary Burns*


One-time lover/admirer of Frederick Engels and sister of Lizzy Burns.


*Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel*


The most important representative of classical German philosophy; he 
represented an objective idealism;


a brilliant investigator of the laws of dialectic, which he was the 
first consciously to apply. An understanding of the influence Hegel had 
on Marx and Engels, and their opinions of Hegel:



*Arnold Ruge*


Young Hegelian. Editor of Hallische Jahrbücher, then published Marx’s 
first really comprehensive political treatise.


With Marx, Feuerbach, and Bakunin, founded the 
newspaper Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher. Broke with Marx in quarrel 
over Herwegh.





*Wilhem Weitling *


One of Germany’s first proletarian writers. Collaborated with Blanqui. 
German utopian egalitarian socialist.


A tailor and travelling activist in proletarian movements. Criticised by 
Marx.



*Pierre Joseph Proudhon*


French political economist and acknowledged by Bakunin as the founder 
of anarchism, envisioned a society of independent, self-employed artisans.



*Karl Von Bruhn*


German communist journalist. Expelled from the Communist League in 1850. 
Later, 1861-66, editor of the Lassallean paper Nordstern, Hamburg.



*Michael Bakunin*


Russian revolutionary. One of the founders of anarchism. In the 1830s 
Bakunin was a Young Hegelian.


In 1848 he took part in the German revolution (the rising in Dresden). 
He was arrested (1849), and eventually handed


over to the Russian government and sentenced to life imprisonment. After 
the death of the Tsar Nicholas I, Bakunin was exiled to Siberia (1857). 
In 1861 he escaped exile and went to London.

I started watching this . . . the same way I watch most new movies . 
. . and expected very little.


It very quickly became evident that it deserved very close attention. 
Who'd have imagined that professional actors vied with the each other 
for the role of Arnold Ruge?

Just came back from a press screening of "The Young Karl Marx", sitting 
next to A.O. Scott who was taking notes furiously. I will be writing 
about the film at great length in a few days but suffice it to say that 
if you can see only one film this year, and maybe in the rest of your 
life, it should be this.


Here's Scott McLemee's take on the film that I agree with completely 
although I will be writing a review from a somewhat different angle.

The Young Karl Marx is currently being shown at the International Film
Festival in NZ.  Unfortunately, only on the Auckland leg of the IFF - it's
not scheduled for the Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin IFFs.

Here's the film review that just went up on Redline:
