Things happening on the muggle London communist scene around now, aka some recs from Jude & friends:
— So Marx died in '83 but Engels was still kicking around London at this time and published Vol II of Das Kapital from Marx's notes in 1885.
— Das Kapital part one came out in 1867 (in German) and only in an English translation in 1887.
— Engels' own The Condition of the working class in England (1845, German) finally had an English translation in the 1880s (but was published first in New York and the edition in London in 1891!).
— Also Engels (not in English yet, but exists, Jude has probably struggled through the German): The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, about bourgeois marriage, relationships, inheritances, the enslavement of women, etc.
— Annie Besant had written a fair amount by this time, including the pamphlet Why I Am a Socialist (1886).
— Also The Fruits of Philosophy by Charles Knowlton (1832) became famous in Britain after 1877 when Annie Besant was tried for co-re-publishing this pamphlet on birth control; the trial obviously made it a bestseller lol.
