The Craft of Writing. Eleanor Marx and the Opening Strains of the Marxian Nachlass.

Abstract

In this article we’ll analyze the narrative and historical context in which appeared the first scenes of the Marxian Nachlass where Eleanor Marx was directly and indirectly involved. For this, first we’ll circumscribe the
problem of the writing and compositions of the Nachlass for, secondly, briefly describe the specific work of Eleanor. Finally, and as en exposition of that editorial work, we’ll present a translation of two Prologues to Marx’s
posthumous work, previously unpublished in Spanish.
