The Letters between Bruno Bauer and Edgar Bauer (1844) was published their brother Egbert Bauer just a couple of years after the letters were originally written between 1839 and 1842. Their purpose was to mount a public defense of Bruno Bauer following his politically and theologically charged dismissal from the University of Bonn in 1842. Within its pages, readers find an unfiltered, intimate exchange of private correspondence between Bruno and his younger brother Edgar, documenting their radical Left-Hegelian critiques, Bruno's definitive and controversial break from orthodox Christian theology, and their shared engagement with the volatile intellectual and political currents of the Vormärz period leading up to the 1848 revolutions.
