Reception

Marxism: An Historical and Critical Study has been praised by authors such as the historian Peter Gay,[3] the political scientist David McLellan,[1] the political theorist Terrell Carver,[4] and the historian of science Roger Smith.[5] Gay described the book as one of the best discussions of alienation in the literature on Marx and Hegel.[3] Carver identified the work as a classic.[4] Smith wrote that "though sometimes criticized in detail", the work helps locate Marx "in the left political movements of the nineteenth century".[5]
