THE COMPLETE WORKS OF
ROSA LUXEMBURG
Support the ongoing effort to produce:
The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg
The effort to issue The
Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg (issued by Verso Books) has reached a
critical phase, and we appeal for your help in enabling future volumes to be
published.
The Complete Works was inaugurated in March 2011 with the
600-page Letters of Rosa Luxemburg,
the largest collection of her correspondence ever published in English. Volume
I of the Complete Works, entitled Economic
Writings 1, was published in 2013 and contains the first full English
translation of one of her most important books, Introduction to Political Economy, as well as eight
newly-discovered manuscripts on anthropology, economic history, and the theory
of crises. Volume II, entitled Economic
Writings 2, was published in 2015 and contains a new translation of The Accumulation of Capital and the Anti-Critique.
We are now raising funds to cover the costs of translation
of her Political Writings, beginning
with three volumes (Vols. 3, 4 and 5) devoted to “On Revolution.” They will contain
all of her writings on the 1905-06 Russian Revolution, 1917 Russian Revolution,
and 1918-19 German Revolution. These reveal Luxemburg at her finest—as a fierce
supporter of revolutionary democracy, with a sensitive grasp of spontaneous
freedom struggles as well as of non-hierarchical forms of organization. Many of
these writings—a large number of them translated from Polish—have never
appeared in print since their initial publication, and most have never before
appeared in English.
The Complete Works
will make her entire body of work available for the first time in any language.
All of the writings will be newly translated, with the highest level of
scholarly editing. But we cannot continue to commission translations without
your support. We need to raise an additional $35,000 to help pay for the
translation costs of the next three volumes.
We urge you to make a contribution to the Rosa Luxemburg
