Description

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! To the Finland Station: A Study in the Writing and Acting of History is the most famous book by the American critic and historian Edmund Wilson. Published in 1940, the work presents the history of revolutionary thought and the birth of socialism, from the French Revolution through the collaboration of Marx and Engels to the arrival of Lenin at the Finland Station in St. Petersburg in 1917. The book is divided into three sections. The first deals mostly with Michelet and then proceeds to talk about the "Decline of Revolutionary Tradition" with focus on Renan, Taine, and Anatole France. The second deals mostly with Karl Marx. It starts with the "Origins of Socialism" with focus on Babeuf, Saint-Simon, Fourier, Owen, Enfantin and the "American Socialists." It then turns to focus on the development of Karl Marx along with Friedrich Engels. As competitors to Karl Marx it focuses on Lassalle and Bakúnin. The third deals mostly with Lenin and Trotsky.
