Erica Benner was formerly lecturer in Political Philosophy at Warsaw University
`A brave, avowedly revisionist appraisal of what Marx and Engels
themselves had to say in this field. The study is carefully
contextualized, both in relation to intellectual influences and in
relation to the turbulent political and economic developments of
the middle decades of the nineteenth century ... Benner's
background in political philosophy is apparent in her deft
summaries of the Hegelian legacy.'
Times Literary Supplement
`valuable as a contribution to the study of political philosophy or
of international relations ... historians might also benefit from
her careful dissection of Marx's and Engels' concepts and from her
efforts in extricating their thought from some of the stereotypes
into which it has been forced, as much by those claiming to inherit
their mantle as by their detractors ... it is a welcome revisionist
contribution to the literature'
Ian Cummins, Monash University, Melbourne, Nations & Nationalism,
Vol 2 Part 3 - 1996
`... formidable and academically vigorous book in which, literally,
no page of Marx's and Engel's voluminous literary legacies remain
unturned ... it should not be judged by its contribution to the
knowledge and understanding of the problems of contemporary nations
and nationalism but as another addition to the scholarly literature
inquiring into the works of Marx and Engels and dealing with the
various (mis)interpretations of their ideas.'
Aleksandras Shtromas, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics Vol.3 No.1
