Key continental Marxist texts remained inaccessible to English-language readers

Evidence

Engels had bequeathed his own and Marx’s unpublished works to Eduard Bernstein and August Bebel, or rather to German Social Democracy as a whole. The party members entrusted with the editing of these papers, Bernstein, Mehring and Kautsky, made no effort to go through them systematically or edit them conscientiously. They did, however, take the trouble, in their incomplete edition of the letters, to undertake countless excisions and alterations. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 116 (#complicates, via linked claim)
