In a sense, Marx is the protagonist and forerunner of the whole twentieth century revolution of thought. The nineteenth century saw the end of the period of humanism which began with the Renaissance-the period which took as its ideal the highest development of the faculties and liberties of the individualMarx understood that, in the new order, the individual would play a minor part. Individualism implies differentiation; everything that is undifferentiated does not count. The Industrial Revolution would place in power the undifferentiated mass. Not man, but mass-man, not the individual, but the class, not the political man, would be the unit of the coming dispensation. Not only industry, but the whole of civilization, would become a matter of mass-production.

But let us look a little at the historical perspective. Both the German and Russian regimes, today, represent a reaction against the individualistic ideology prevailing at any, in Western Europe, for the last hundred and fifty yearsThe whole system of individualist lai
Papers of E. H. Carr
The papers document many aspects of Carr's long and varied life and include material relating to his schooling and employment as a civil servant and also to his multi-faceted career as a biographer, journalist, critic, essayist and historian. The papers relating to his education, for example, include some of his essays and the Latin oration which he gave as head monitor of Merchant Taylors School in London; letters relating to the award of scholarships at Trinity College, Cambridge; and printed copies of the Latin poem and epigram and Greek verse translation for which he won prizes while at Trinity. Although there is little material relating to the nature of his work as a civil servant, the official documents relating to his appointment as a temporary clerk in the Foreign Office in and his subsequent preferments, rising to the position of First Secretary in the Diplomatic Service in , have survived.
The papers also include what appears to be a comprehensive collection of very many contributions of book reviews and short articles of comment published principally in the Spectator , Fortnightly , Christian Science Monitor , Slavonic Review and Times Litera

EH Carr’s sense of history
History has not been kind to EH Carr. When he died in , aged 90, he was still viewed as a formidable, authoritative public intellectual from an era in which the divide between public and academic had yet to become an iron curtain. He was the brilliant historian who, thanks to his volume history of Russia after , was feted, in the words of his friend Isaac Deutscher, as &#;the first genuine historian of the Soviet regime&#;; he was the man who had birthed the discipline of international relations, with his real-politik championing of appeasement in The Twenty Years&#; Crisis: ‑, published, with grim irony, as Hitler&#;s Germany rolled into Poland; and he was the author, most famously perhaps, of What is history? (), a limpid, persuasive polemic that proved so popular among the general public that professional historians have rarely stopped dismissing it ever since.
Yet today Carr is an almost wilfully obscured figure. When he is mentioned, it is with bile in the throat. He is that &#;shocking old Soviet apologist&#;, as one reviewer called him; the most overrated thinker of the century, as a former student labeled him in ; a man of &#;unlimited
