Write an essay using those sources to address one of the
following bulleted question-clusters; your thesis statement should
reflect a response to the question-cluster you choose:

  1. OPTION 1: While the different threads of Marxist socialism in
    nineteenth-century Europe shared some common themes, it was also a
    divided movement. Based on the primary documents offered in the
    “Working with Evidence” section of Chapter 17, how would you describe
    those common perspectives? How would you describe the key differences
    and points of division?
  2. OPTION 2: To what extent did socialist thinking in the period
    between 1800 and 1914 reflect the issues of the Atlantic Revolutions
    explored in the previous chapter? In what ways did socialist thinking
    depart from those earlier revolutionary upheavals?

Expectations:

  • Submit to the Dropbox by 11.59 p.m., Sunday
  • Your thesis statement should reflect the question-cluster you have
    chosen. Be sure to base your response on the documents themselves and
    the information provided in the preceding chapter.
  • As you plan your essay, be sure to pay attention to format
    instruction on the syllabus, and to the guide document on essays,
    located in the Course Overview page in the Start Here module.
  • Be sure to read the very first “Working with Evidence” section found
    early in the textbook, before Chapter 13—it offers guidance on
    analyzing primary sources.

The essay must be:

    • Between 1000 and 1200 words in length
    • Double-spaced, using a normal-sized font, such as Times New Roman 12-point

    • Contain use of appropriate scholarly sources rather than dubious sources such as Wikipedia
