Edward Bibbins Aveling (born November 29, 1849 in Stock Newington, Borough of Hackney , London , † August 2, 1898 in Battersea , London) was an English socialist, zoologist , free thinker and, from 1884 to 1898, until her death, Life partner of Eleanor Marx .

Life

Youth and Studies

Edward Aveling was born the fifth of eight children in the house "6 Nelson Terrace". His father the Reverend Thomas William Baxter Aveling (* 1815, † 1884) and his mother Mary Ann († 1877), was the daughter of Thomas Goodall , a farmer and innkeeper from Wisbech .

From 1863 he attended the " Proprietary School in Taunton " with his brother Frederick Wilkins Aveling and in 1867 he began to study medicine at University College London . He received his Bachelor of Science in zoology in 1870. In 1869 he moved to the Philosophical Faculty and he held a grant of £ 40 and a three-year grant of £ 50 for the study of zoology. From 1870 to 1872 he worked as an assistant to Michael Foster in Cambridge . In 1876 he received his doctorate in natural sciences and was elected a member of the Linnaeus Society . Aveling taught at King's College London until 1882. On July 30, 1872, Aveling married Isabel Campbell Frank called Bell (* 1849? † September 12, 1892), the daughter of a poultry dealer and heir to her father, who died in 1868. After about two years, Aveling's wife separated , but there was no divorce . As early as 1872 or 1873, Aveling had briefly met Karl Marx during a lecture at a school in Hampstead .

The free thinker

After Aveling's mother died of the Schlagfluss in 1877 , he professed atheism . Through one of his students he met Annie Besant and Charles Bradlaugh of the National Secular Society in 1879 and he soon took on a leading role in this society. Together with them he published numerous brochures. In September 1881, Aveling and Ludwig Büchner visited Charles Darwin in his house in Downe . They discussed atheism and Darwin preferred to be considered an agnostic . Aveling defended the editor of " Freethinker " George William Foote when he was dragged to court by the conservative MP Sir Henry Tyler for blasphemy . Aveling not only published numerous brochures on behalf of the National Secular Society , but also came into contact with workers as an agitator at hundreds of meetings.

In 1882 Foote founded Progress magazine . A monthly magazine of advanced thought and Aveling was the editor of that magazine. He asked Eleanor Marx for an article about her late father Aveling, who published poems in this magazine that read like love poems. Even Friedrich Engels wrote for this magazine.

Aveling was not only an admirer of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution , but he also tried to establish personal contact with Darwin. On October 12, 1880, he wrote a letter to him, asking if he could dedicate a book to him. Darwin replied on October 13th that he did not want to comply with his request. The book, The Student's Darwin is still in the Darwin estate today. Darwin's letter ended up in the Marx estate as part of Eleanor Marx's estate with Darwin's letter to Karl Marx of October 1, 1873, and was therefore treated for a long time as a negative opinion by Darwin against Karl Marx. On September 28, 1881, Aveling and Ernst Haeckel visited Darwin at his home in Downe . In 1897 Aveling wrote about it: “He greeted us on the threshold of his house. [...] We had breakfast with him and several family members. [...] We learned later that Ms. Darwin adhered to the Orthodox church faith in every respect. Darwin told us in the course of our conversation that the publication of the results of his scientific researches and discoveries was extremely painful for him because he knew that some of them would have to injure those closest to him. ”Aveling also conveyed a correspondence with Haeckel the publication of some of Haeckel's essays in England under the title The Pedigree of Man. And Other Essays were printed in 1883.

With the socialists

Wilhelm Liebknecht, Edward Aveling and Eleanor Marx during their agitation trip in North America in 1886.

On March 17, Aveling attended the funeral of Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery in London together with Eleanor, Charles Longuet , Paul Lafargue , Friedrich Engels, Helena Demuth , Georg Lochner , Friedrich Leßner , Wilhelm Liebknecht , Carl Schorlemmer , Ernest Radford, Gustav Lembke and Sir Ray Lankester .

In August 1884 Eleanor Marx and Edward Aveling became members of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), which was founded in 1881 by Henry Mayers Hyndman . Because of political differences, the SDF split and Eleanor and Edward founded the Socialist League on December 27, 1885, along with William Morris and Ernest Belfort Bax and others . On January 16, 1885, the founders issued a circular letter setting out the reasons for the split. In September, Eleanor and Edward attended the meeting on Dodd Street that sparked a wave of struggles for free speech in England.

Since Laura Lafargue was unable to translate the part intended for her on English translation of the first volume of Capital , Edward Aveling was entrusted with it in April 1884. On behalf of Friedrich Engels he translated Chapter X (The Working Day), Chapter XI (Rate and Mass of Added Value), Section (Wages), the last part of Chapter XXIV, Chapter XXV, Section VIII (Chapters XXVI-XXXIII) and the prefaces by Marx.

On August 31, 1886, Eleanor and Edward Aveling traveled to New York . Wilhelm Liebknecht arrived in New York a little later. The two were supposed to promote the Socialist Labor Party of America in the United States , and Liebknecht raised money for the German Social Democrats who suffered under the Socialist Law . On September 20, 1866, the three spoke on the subject of The Social Democratic Workers Movement . All three defended the innocent justice victims of the Haymarket Riot who were about to be hanged. Between September and December 1886 they performed in New York, St. Louis , Baltimore , Detroit , Milwaukee , Kansas City , Cincinnati , Pittsburgh, and many other cities. On January 4, 1887, they returned to London. Edward wrote the book An American Journey about the trip and, together with Eleanor, The Working-Class Movement in America.

Since anarchists won the majority (17:11) at the 3rd annual conference of the Socialist League on May 29, 1887 , the Avelings leave the Socialist League . On April 11, Edward and Eleanor speak for Irish independence at a demonstration in front of over 100,000 people in Hyde Park .

On November 13, 1887, a protest demonstration by 100,000 socialists and workers took place in Trafalgar Square against unemployment, which was brutally suppressed by the police and went down in history as Bloody Sunday .

Aveling has been a sought-after speaker over the years. He made his living mainly from his publications and speeches. He supported Eleanor in her union activities, became a member of the Independent Labor Party , in whose executive committee he was elected.

Aveling was represented as a delegate at the International Socialist Workers' Congress of the Second International in Paris in 1889 , in Brussels in 1891 and in Zurich in 1893 .

Edward and Eleanor

Edward and Eleanor met in 1883. In July 1884 they went on their “honeymoon”. From then on she called herself “Eleanor Marx Aveling” . The connection excited some of their two acquaintances, so Hyndman, Annie Besant, Charles Broadlaugh, while others like Olive Schreiner or Havelock Ellis stuck to the unusual couple. The free cohabitation was initially positive for both sides. Again and again both had financial problems because they lived beyond their means.

After a summer stay in Stratfort-on-Avon , Eleanor and Edward visit America again in August 1888 at the invitation of Friedrich Engels, together with Carl Schorlemmer .

Literature and theater

By 1884, Scandinavian literature gained influence in certain circles in London. Aveling met Anne Charlotte Edgren and Eleanor promoted her to her sister Laura.

Various translations of Henrik Ibsen's " Nora " were made, which Aveling reviewed in "Our Corner" magazine. The Aveling were also friends with George Bernhard Shaw . Aveling wrote for the "Dramatic Rewiew" by the critic William Archer under the pseudonym Alec Nelson . After much preparation, Ibsen's Nora gave a reading on January 15, 1886 in the Avelings' apartment. Eleanor spoke the " Nora Helmer ", Edward the " Helmer ", Shaw the "Nora or A Doll's House" and May Morris the Mrs. Linde . He and Eleanor were friends with George Moore as his review of his novel "Esther Walters" shows. His play “By the Sea” is a free adaptation of André Theuriet's French play “Jean-Marie” . In a review of Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm (September 1883), he praised her novel very much. In 1891 he reviewed Thomas Hardy's novel " Tess von den d'Urbervilles ".

Aveling's attempts to establish himself as a dramatist were limited to a few performances of his plays, in which he also participated as an actor in some cases. The pieces themselves have not survived, but have only come down to us through reviews and statements in letters from the contemporaries mentioned here. Friedrich Engels' judgment of "Edward's remarkable success in the dramatic field so far" was wishful thinking rather than reality.

Dramatic ending

In her will of October 16, 1895 and in the codicil of November 28, 1896, Eleanor appointed her partner Edward Avling as her heir. At the end of 1896, the two taught in the "Social Hall" in Wandsworth on behalf of the SDF . For the benefit of the teaching fund, the operetta by The Landlady was performed by Alec Nelson, in which Eva Frye also participated. Aveling fell ill and had to be operated on on June 19, 1897 because of an abscess in the lumbar region .

It was agreed between Eleanor and Edward that they could not marry because Edward Aveling's marriage was not divorced. Under the name Alec Nelson , Aveling married the 22-year-old actress Eva Frye on June 8, 1897, without informing Eleanor, and then led a double life. Edward often stayed with his new wife and Eleanor suffered from it, also because she felt lonely and abandoned. In August 1897 he was elected to the SDF board by a large majority at the SDF's annual conference in Northampton . Shortly after speaking at a mass meeting in London in Trafalgar Square, he left Eleanor. Eleanor also wrote to Frederick Demuth about this: “I wrote to Edward again this morning. No doubt it's weak. But you can't erase fourteen years of your life as if they weren't there. I think anyone with the slightest sense of honor - not to mention kindness and gratitude - would answer this letter. Will he do it? I'm almost afraid he won't. ”On September 1st he returned to Eleanor without apologizing. At the end of September both traveled to Paris to see Laura and Paul Lafargue. After an agitation tour in Burnley in January 1897, Edward fell ill with pneumonia . He was operated on again in February. And his condition got worse. Fifteen days later, Eleanor and Edward wrote a joint letter to Wilhelm Liebknecht in which they looked forward to Liebknecht's upcoming visit to London.

Eleanor committed suicide on March 31, 1898 . There were and are different representations of the course of the day.

After the judicial investigation was over, Aveling and Frederick Demuth sat down. On July 21, 1898 Aveling made his will ("Edward Aveling professionally known as Alec Nelson") and put his wife Eva as sole heir . Returning from a trip to Ireland , Edward Aveling died on August 2, 1898 in his apartment on Abert Bridge Road , London, of liver disease ( fatty liver ), leaving “ £ 852 7 s . 3 d . “On August 5, his body was cremated in Woking . Hardly six people were present at the funeral. His urn was buried in Brookwood Cemetery .

Contemporaries about Edward Aveling

“Aveling, Edward. Very good. Has too many irons in the fire. Newbie. Literary man. Innocent lamb. Very good Irishman. Quite well-behaved, intelligent and sincere. Strong need for tutoring. Impractical. 'Educated'. Poor E. Useful. Stupid enough. Easy to bounce. Melodramatic generosity. Shame. Total ignorance of the world. Penchant for poetic reverie. Talented and useful. Well-behaved, but gushing like a fried fish . Disorder of literary bohemian . Strolling. Colossal stupidity. Absolutely naive. Green. Incredibly stupid. "

“I haven't heard much about the criminal lately. After all, he's not in New Zealand yet , he's enjoying his life in London. A friend of Motteler saw him having a festive dinner with a woman in a chic restaurant and joking. And he makes no secret of the fact that he lives with a woman. I do not know if I wrote to you at the time that London was rumored Aveling have to Tussy lifetime secretly legally a marriage concluded and that the Tussy had driven to death. "

- Eduard Bernstein to Laura Lafargue. April 1898

“It was kind of weird. Her friends asked me for advice on Aveling being suicidal. I investigated the matter and obtained additional evidence, but had to give them the advice to let the matter rest in the absence of evidence. "

- Alexander Karley Donald to John Lincoln Mahon . June 4, 1898.

“It is strange that although he looked almost like Quasimodo, he wielded remarkable spell on women, and the impact of his lecture tours in the provinces was often marred by the stories of the victims he left behind. The fact that these offenses were known only to a few people who could not speak for fear of harming an innocent person is the explanation for the position he occupied in the political world. "

- Renold's Newspaper of August 7, 1898.

Tussy came to congratulate, and with her Aveling, whom I saw for the first time. It is strange that the first impression one gets of a person is sometimes the right one. Aveling looked repulsive to me at the time. When I got to know him better, not only as a witty cause, but also as a zealous party member, passionate speaker and tireless worker, I overcame my reluctance, and yet later developments have shown that the first impression was the right one and the one gained later a wrong one . "

- Karl Kautsky 1935
