His work did more than Marx's to attract and make converts to the most influential political movement of modern times. He was not only the father of dialectical and historical materialism--the official philosophies of history and\u003cbr\u003escience in many communist countries--but was also the first Marxist historian, anthropologist, philosopher, and commentator on early Marx. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his later years Engels developed his materialist interpretation of history, his chief intellectual legacy, which has had revolutionary effects on the arts and social sciences. Terrell Carver traces its source and its effect on the development of Marxist theory and practice, assesses its utility, \u003cbr\u003eand discusses the difficulties which Marxists have encountered in defending it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/strong\u003e: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, \u003cstrong\u003eVery Short Introductions\u003c\/strong\u003e offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics.
