Abstract

"Drawing on research within the library, Marx Angels contains extracts from correspondence between Marx and Engels, who both spent time studying in Chetham's Library. Presented as a journal and illustrated with details of hand gestures culled from the media, Marx and Engels' correspondence is paraphrased by extracts from Pavel Büchler's imaginary diary. These diary extracts, reading like a list of Fluxus actions, reveal the warmth, humour and the mundanity of domestic arrangements within the correspondence of Marx and Engels."
