I just want to second what Michael Yates wrote, The level of meticulous scholarship M. Heinrich has brought to bear upon this is absolutely amazing. This first volume, in addition to being a biography of Marx up to 1841, also feels like a social history of Trier and the Rhineland in the post-Napoleonic era, an intellectual history of "Young Hegelianism" (and critical interrogation of the concept of "Young Hegelianism"), _and_ an intellectual meditation on the meaning of biographical writing. Heinrich would probably dispute the notion that there ever can be a definitive biography of Marx, but I definitely think this work will set the standard for decades to come. Given the sheer length of the work, I imagine it will be some time before the first reviews come out, but I'm eagerly anticipating the intellectual engagement with Heinrich's work on this.
