Lafargue, disciple and son-in-law of Karl Marx, helped found the first French Marxist party in 1882, and over the next three decades, served as its chief theoretician and propagandist. Here, Derfler explores Lafargue's political strategies and his attempts to apply Marxist methods of analysis to anthropology, aesthetics, and literary criticism.
