Synopsis

From his turbulent early days in Soho to quiet family Sundays on Hampstead Heath, Karl Marx’s decades in London were deeply intertwined with the geography of the Victorian metropolis. In Marx in London, Asa Briggs weaves biographical narrative together with archival imagery and location maps to illuminate Marx's daily world. Readers are guided through the exact spaces where Capital was researched, where the First International met in Covent Garden, and where exile life unfolded. Rich in detail and historic charm, this volume invites us to see London’s urban landscape through the eyes of its most famous political exile. An indispensable illustrated volume for travelers, historians, and anyone fascinated by 19th-century London history.
