About the author(s)
The theory of Permanent Revolution has been associated with Leon
Trotsky for more than a century since the first Russian Revolution in
1905. Trotsky was the most brilliant proponent of Permanent Revolution
but by no means its sole author. The documents in this volume, most of
them translated into English for the first time, demonstrate that
Trotsky was one of several participants in a debate from 1903-7 that
involved numerous leading figures of Russian and European Marxism,
including Karl Kautsky, Rosa Luxemburg, Franz Mehring, Parvus and
David Ryazanov.
This volume reassembles that debate, assesses it with reference to
Marx and Engels, and provides new evidence for interpreting the
formative years of Russian revolutionary Marxism.
