It was partly out of spite that I even bothered with something like that, in that environment, but he (Marx) was in it critical of the linguistic ('mannerist'?) machinations of the Hegelians (although himself a native German speaker), so there was some consolation in it, by analogy, re mannered Anglophone analytic philosophy, at least for me.
Thinking back on it, it was also somewhat a Gellneresque thing to do.
I read the whole interminable thing.
Rather like a rough draft of Das Capital, as they say, though Engels had written important portions of that, not Marx.
Winch was polite. He of course read and spoke German, as well as French, which I did not. The post he held had been held previously by a noted Hegelian, J N Findlay, an increasingly rare bird in Britain.
