This book is the first-ever biography of Edward Aveling (1849-1898) and rescues him from his footnote status in the histories of the period and in the biographies of his contemporaries. It should be of interest to anyone engaged in research on aspects of 19th century socialism or with an interest in the lives of Karl Marx and his circle.
The author, Deborah Lavin, first came to her subject by way of Eleanor Marx, but she soon discovered that Aveling was a very intriguing and significant political figure in his own right.

Edward Aveling
Edward Bibbens Aveling (né le [N 1] à Stoke Newington et décédé le à Londres) est un biologiste, évolutionniste, athée et socialistebritannique.
