Burnham's article (chapter 5) unwittingly strengthened the feminist interpretation, and created difficulties for his own argument, by mistranslating Marx's description of the Seitensatz, ‘das…zum Gegensatz dienende’ (Die Lehre, p. 272) as ‘by contrast, that which serves [or later on p. 73, is ‘servile’!]’, rather than ‘that which serves as a contrast’ (present volume, p. 57). The error is amply acknowledged in Burnham's introduction (pp. xiii–xiv), although due to the literal-reprographic format of this Ashgate series, it could not be corrected in the text itself.
