Terrell's contribution to Marx Myths and Legends goes to the
disputed claim that Marx fathered
an illegitimate son with the family's
servant Helene Demuth. Terrell's
work on this dispute draws on a
life-time's study of the character
and lives of all the figures in
the life of Marx and his family
and an impressive record of scholarship.
