76. This is the interpretation of, for example, W. Johnston, 'Marx's verses of
1836-7', Journal of the History of Ideas (April 1967) p. 261; also of E. Kamenka,
The Ethical Foundations of Marxism (London, 1962) p. 20, and of S. Avineri,

77. For a lengthier discussion of Marx's poems than, perhaps, they merit, see A.
Cornu, Karl Marx et Friedrich Engels (Paris, 1955) pp. 74 ff.; R. Payne, Marx
(London, 1968) pp. 59 ff.; P. Demetz, Marx, Engels and the Poets (Chicago,
1967) pp. 47 ff. These essentially immature literary efforts should not be
taken as evidence of Marx's capacities in this field; on the contrary remarks
scattered throughout his later writings show that he had the ability to be a
first-class literary critic.
