ABSTRACT
For many years Denmark was poor in Marx translations. In 1952 the Communist Party of Denmark published a translation of selected writings by Marx and Engels in two volumes, edited by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute in Moscow (Marx and Engels 1952): the political writings of Marx and Engels were given a priority, whereas Marx’s critique of political economy was almost neglected. Ten years later, the stock of Danish texts was supplemented by a small volume containing writings of the young Marx (Marx 1962).
