1. Sidney Hook’s pioneering work, From Hegel to Marx (New York: Humanities Press, 1950) first published in 1936, devoted a chapter (pp. 165–85) to Stirner and Marx, which does not explain why Marx devoted the best part of a major work to attacking Stirner. (‘Saint Max’ was composed by Marx, not Engels.)
2. Of more recent books, R. M. Tucker’s Philosophy and Myth in Karl Marx (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1967) does not mention Stirner,
3. and Shlomo Avineri’s The Social and Political Thought of Karl Marx (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1970) does not discuss Stirner.
4. The best outline accounts of the dispute in English are those of Nicolas Lobkowicz in Theory and Practice: History of a Concept from Aristotle to Marx (Notre Dame, Ind., University of Notre Dame Press, 1967), pp. 401–426;
5. R. W. K. Paterson in The Nihilist Egoist: Max Stirner (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1971), pp. 101–125;
