1917 Bibliography and Erratum
At the end of October: The Story of the Russian Revolution (Verso, 2017), written and published for the centenary of that event, are suggestions for further reading, arranged by topic. To mark the 2018 publication of the paperback edition, and to complement that brief, curated and annotated list of some of the most useful and/or interesting texts referred to during the writing of the book, a much more substantial bibliography of titles used is below. It includes, though here without comment, those previously listed in print. Essay collections are for the most part listed here as single volumes, and their component essays, with a few particularly invaluable exceptions, not listed individually. To repeat a caveat from the print edition, not listed here (also with few exceptions) are texts that are of, as well as about, the moment, such as any of Lenin’s many texts from 1917. They, and much else relevant, are available at marxists.org.
Please note also an error of quotation in initial printings of the paperback edition. On p7, ‘According to a key protagonist of 1917, Leon Trotsky, it is thrown up by “the western barbarians settled in the ruins of roman culture”.’ should read, ‘According to a key protagonist of 1917, Leon Trotsky, unlike western Europe, where at least “the western barbarians settled in the ruins of roman culture”, the “Slavs in the East found no inheritance upon their desolate plain”.’ This will be fixed in later printings.
