Background
Karl Marx wrote the eight notebooks that up Grundrisse between August 1857 an June 1859. Unwelcome in most countries of the European continent due to his support for the 1848 revolutions, Marx was then living in London. Destitute, he, his wife, and three daughters had first lived in two-bedroom apartment in Soho, then a very poor neighborhood. In 1856, the family was able to move to a house in Kentish Town, a suburb north of London, because of an inheritance by Marx's wife Jenny von Westphalen.
