The first volume of a seminal Soviet edition of the literary-critical works of Franz Mehring (1846–1919), a prominent German Marxist philosopher, historian, and critic. Published in 1934 by Academia, this comprehensive collection includes his major study "The Lessing Legend," various literary guides, and critical articles, supplemented by an essay from the influential Hungarian Marxist theorist Georg Lukács. Edited by Valerian Polyansky and featuring a portrait and design by M. V. Matorin, this volume represents a key text in the Soviet canon of Marxist literary criticism, offering a foundational materialist analysis of German literature and culture.
