If you can read German there is quite an extensive biography of Lafargue
by Fritz Keller at
http://www.marxists.org/deutsch/archiv/lafargue/biog/index.htm - Fritz
is perhaps THE present-day expert on Lafargue as he has published 2
anthologies of his work in German, one of his "feminist" writings and
one of his writings on culture. If you would like to get in touch with
Fritz (who can also speak English) contact me off-list.
