First of all, I am greatly thankful to my supervisors, Professor Mark Ward and Dr. Laura Martin. Laura's pragmatic and practical advice and assistanceproved very helpful for overcomingall major obstacles in the course of my PhD studies at the University of Glasgow. Mark has not only been a tireless proof-reader at various stagesof the thesis, but his great enthusiasm with which he supported my project has been a continuous source of inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing and revising process. The same applies to my friend and fellow PhD-student Eugene de Klerk, who was much more than a mereproof-reader. His extremelyinsightful and astutecriticism often causedme to rethink and reformulate my argument. Moreover, he has been a great friend throughoutand was alwaysthere when 'the Beast'proved a tough enemy.Among the many other friends in Scotlandand elsewhereI like to thank particularlymy fellow Phl)-students Meggie Hiley and Ruth Irwin, my one-time flatmates Lorenzo Ranalli and Ben Ward in Scotland, my outdoor mission friend Eleanor MacGregor and Niamh Neylon, Barbel and Micha Frank who have all beenmost faithful friends ever sinceour student days together in Konstanz. Last but not least, my girl-friend Chantal Riekel has beena constantsource of supportthrough her lovelinessand her greatsense of humour. In respect to the final form of this thesis I am also thankful to my examiners Dr. Barbara Bums and Professor Martin Swales for their very diligent corrections and thought-provoking comments and suggestions. In respect to my research on Georg Weerth, Dr. Bemd FOllner of the Heinrich-Heine-Institutin DUsseldorfhas been extremely helpful. Not only did he kindly provide me with an electronic draft copy of a ii brilliant new edition of Georg Weerth's works he has been working on, but his enthusiasmfor this unjustly neglectedrevolutionary writer has been inspirational. Regarding financial assistance,I ain indebted to the AHRC for a tuition fees scholarship and the Faculty of Art for a one-year Postgraduate Scholarship. However my greatest and warmest thanks in this respect go out to my grandma Maria Hennig, whose generousfinancial support has enabledme to write this thesis in the first place. Finally I like to dedicate this thesis to all my good friends (also those not explicitly mentioned here) for their enduring friendship over the years. iii Abstract This thesis addresses, from a comparative perspective, an important lacuna in the research devoted to German and English revolutionary literature in the period from 1819 up to the European revolutions of 1848/49. It illustrates that a major shift from a concept of political revolution to one of social revolution took place within these years which is reflected in radical literature between the 'Peterloo Massacre' (1819) and the failure of the bourgeois political revolution of 1848/49. During this epoch of European history the entire radical discourse increasingly challenged the republican ideology of political revolution moving towards a social- republican or even socialist notion of social revolution. While the advocatesof the former assertedthat a mere changein the systemof governmentwould be sufficient to achieve decisive change, those who adheredto the latter revolutionary ideology insisted that a transformation of the socio-economic system, the capitalist mode of production and of the distribution of property and capital was necessary genuinely to change contemporary society. The shift from one concept to the other that can located both in the majority of contemporary revolutionary discourse (both literary and non-fictional) and within the texts of particular writers has to be viewed as a gradual and painful process of transition fraught with strong class anxieties, ideological tensions and contradictions. Since it encompassedthe non-fictional and fictional discourseand revolution alike, this development will be investigated from an interdisciplinary, intertextual and inter-discursive perspective, which decisively questions the validity of the still dominant intra-literary approach to radical literary texts. Theoretically based on selected writings of the early Marx and Engels on ideology, consciousness and political and social revolution as well as on more recent Marxist theories of cultural studies, this study shows how the contemporary philosophical, socio-political, socio-economic and literary discourse on revolution must be regarded as closely interlink-ed. This interconnection is not limited to an ideological, but also extends to a rhetorical and even metaphorical level. Ho%%-c%-cr,although it foregroundsthese shared textual elements,the purpose of this thesis is not to add yet anotherphilological analysis of literary works, but rather to flesh out the shared ideological involvement of the fictional and non-fictional revolutionary discourse. Texts and authors drawn upon to prove these theses include in the British context of 1819 Percy Bysshe Shelley and British radical journalists such as Richard Carlilc as as working-class pamphleteers. In order to analysc the shift in revolutionary discourse in the years between the French bourgeois July Revolution of 1830 and the early 1840s, texts by the literary rc%-olutionary writers Lud%%igB6mc, llcinrich 11cine, '17homasLovcll Bcddocs and Georg BUchncr are contcxtualised -*%ith the pamphlets and writings by the most radically socio-rcvolutionary among the French early socialists, Louis Auguste Blanqui, by rcbelliousweavers, by the Parisian German early proletarian mo%-cmcntas well as Marx's earliest socio-philosophical justification of a proletarian social revolution, the "Einleitung Zur Kritik der Hegel'schen Rechts- Philosophie" (1844). The analysis of the years between the mid-1840s up to 1848149 focuses Engels Marx on the German Communist .%-ritcrs Georg %Vecrth,Moses HeB, and and their common project to write a Marxist poetics of revolution.

  • Boundaries of Utopia – Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin
    Boundaries of Utopia – Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin The idea that socialism could be established in a single country was adopted as an official doctrine by the Soviet Union in 1925, Stalin and Bukharin being the main formulators of the policy. Before this there had been much debate as to whether the only way to secure socialism would be as a result of socialist revolution on a much broader scale, across all Europe or wider still. This book traces the development of ideas about communist utopia from Plato onwards, paying particular attention to debates about universalist ideology versus the possibility for ‘socialism in one country’. The book argues that although the prevailing view is that ‘socialism in one country’ was a sharp break from a long tradition that tended to view socialism as only possible if universal, in fact the territorially confined socialist project had long roots, including in the writings of Marx and Engels.

For that, the focus will fall on the German historical novel Rede des toten Kolumbus am Tag des jüngsten Gerichts (1992), from the author Hans Christoph Buch. In the novel, it is observed how the rhetorical and aesthetical processes of narrative come close to what was considered as “new metafictional historical novel”, according to studies by Aínsa (1988-1991), Menton (1993) and Fleck (2007).

  • Marx and Engels and the Communist Movement the Following Article Is a Chapter from the Idea: Anarchist Communism, Past, Present and Future by Nick Heath
    Marx and Engels and the Communist Movement The following article is a chapter from The Idea: Anarchist Communism, Past, Present and Future by Nick Heath. We should point out that whilst we regard Marx's analysis of capitalism and class society as a very important contribution to revolutionary ideas, we are critical of his attitudes and behaviour within both the Communist League and the First International. Marx was to re-iterate his ideas and to put them into practice in all his time in the working class movement. “Without parties no development, without division no progress” he was to write (polemic with the Kölnische Zeitung newspaper, 1842). In a much later letter to Bebel written in 1873, Engels sums up this approach: “For the rest, old Hegel has already said it; a party proves itself a victorious party by the fact that it splits and can stand the split. The movement of the proletariat necessarily passes through stages of development; at every stage one section of the people lags behind and does not join in the further advance; and this alone explains why it is that actually the “solidarity of the proletariat” is everywhere realised in different party groupings which carry on life and death feuds with one another”. The mythology of Marxism implies that the theory of communism was perfected by Marx and Engels without really taking into consideration all that had gone before and that communism, organised more or less into a loose movement, was created by artisans and workers as a result of their practical experiences in the French Revolution and the events of the 1830s, as well as their continuing theoretical labours.

  • Karl Marx: Communist As Religious Eschatologist
    Karl Marx: Communist as Religious Eschatologist Murray N. Rothbard* Marx as Millennia1 Communist he key to the intricate and massive system of thought created by Karl Marx is at bottom a simple one: Karl Marx was a Tcommunist. A seemingly trite and banal statement set along- side Marxism's myriad of jargon-ridden concepts in philosophy, eco- nomics, and culture, yet Marx's devotion to communism was his crucial focus, far more central than the class struggle, the dialectic, the theory of surplus value, and all the rest. Communism was the great goal, the vision, the desideratum, the ultimate end that would make the sufferings of mankind throughout history worthwhile. History is the history of suffering, of class struggle, of the exploitation of man by man. In the same way as the return of the Messiah, in Christian theology, will put an end to history and establish a new heaven and a new earth, so the establishment of communism would put an end to human history. And just as for post-millennia1 Chris- tians, man, led by God's prophets and saints, will establish a Kingdom of God on Earth (for pre-millennials, Jesus will have many human assistants in setting up such a kingdom), so, for Marx and other schools of communists, mankind, led by a vanguard of secular saints, will establish a secularized Kingdom of Heaven on earth. In messianic religious movements, the millennium is invariably established by a mighty, violent upheaval, an Armageddon, a great apocalyptic war between good and evil. After this titanic conflict, a millennium, a new age, of peace and harmony, of the reign of justice, will be installed upon the earth.

Welcome to 2016 and to the Spring Newsletter. The highlight of the sesquicentennial celebrations was for me the afternoon at John Rylands Library Deansgate. Under the watchful eye of Archivist Fran Baker and Laura Caradonna, Collection Care Team Leader, we were permitted to look at and even touch the foolscap MS of Wives and Daughters. Other items on display included a rather recriminatory letter from Mr Dickens to Mrs Gaskell, the oval miniature (water colour on ivory) of young Elizabeth, photographs of Elizabeth in later life, and items from the Geoffrey Sharps collection. Fran brought these to life (metaphorically speaking) for us, and Laura enlightened us about the science of paper and inks and showed us an oak gall or oak apple (used for many centuries in ink production). On 13 January we celebrated the New Year by lunch at The Cottons. Soprano Rosie Lomas with accompanist Andrew Burr created the post-prandial entertainment. Rosie sang folk songs, (including 'Oldham Weavers' like Margaret in Mary Barton), art songs, Shakespeare's Sonnet 104 set to music for Rosie by Dominic de Grande, and operatic arias which she interspersed with facts and fiction from Mrs Gaskell (of whom Rosie has tremendous knowledge and understanding).
