Marx/Engels Collected Works (also known as MECW) is the largest existing collection of English translations of many of the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It contains publications by Marx and Engels released during their lifetimes, many unpublished manuscripts of Marx's economic writings, and extensive correspondence. The Collected Works, 50 volumes, was compiled and issued from 1975 to 2004 by Progress Publishers (1931, Moscow) in collaboration with Lawrence and Wishart (1936, London) and International Publishers(1924, New York City).
Although the Collected Works is the most comprehensive English translation of Marx and Engels' work, it is not their complete work. An ongoing project to publish the pair's complete works in German is expected to require 114 volumes. Readers interested in following the progress of this work can visit The Institute of Social History in Amsterdam and Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe(MEGA) website of Berlin-Brandenburgische academy of Science,also check the online MEGA edition from MEGAdigitial or from De Gruyter(Publisher of MEGA2)'s page.
The Collected Works consists of a collection of writings by Marx between 1835 and his death in 1883, and by Engels between 1838 and his death in 1895. Early volumes include juvenilia, such as correspondence between Marx and his father, Marx's poetry, and letters from Engels to his sister. The Collected Works also contain several major, well-known works by Marx and Engels, such as The Communist Manifesto (V. 6), The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon (V. 11), and The Condition of the Working Class in England (V. 4). In addition, a large body of previously unpublished or untranslated material is collected, consisting of newspaper articles, letters, and other minor writings. The collection is divided into three parts. Volumes 1-27 collect the political, philosophical, historical and journalistic writings of the authors, in chronological order. Volumes 28-37 specifically collect Marx's writings on political economy, including a large amount of draft material and manuscripts which culminated in the three volumes of Capital (V. 35-37). Finally, volumes 38-50 collect the letters and personal correspondence of the authors.
