James Guillaume was born in London in February 1844. He became
interested in anarchism when he was a student in Zurich, and later
as a printer in Neuchatel. He became one of the leading members of
the Jura Federation of the First International. Having accepted
anarchist beliefs, he associated himself with Bakunin, with whom he
was expelled from the International at the Hague Congress in 1872.
Later he was active in founding the Anarchist St.-Imier
International. He played a decisive role in Kropotkin's conversion
to anarchism, and worked with him at anarchist agitation in
Switzerland during the later 1870s. Early in the 1880s, Guillaume
withdrew from anarchist activity, to become active again twenty
years later in the anarcho-syndicalist movement. The four-volume
work he wrote during this later period, L'International: Documents
et Souvenirs, is the most important source of information from the
anarchist point of view relating to the First International.
Guillaume also edited Bakunin's Collected Works published in French
in 1907.
