Volume One of "Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian
Ideas," is a comprehensive and far ranging collection of anarchist
writings from the feudal era (300) to 1939. Edited and introduced
by noted anarchist scholar Robert Graham, the collection will
include the definitive texts from the anarchist tradition of
political thought, beginning with some of the earliest writings
from China and Europe against feudal servitude and authority.
The collection will then go on to document the best of the
anti-authoritarian writings from the English and French Revolutions
and the early development of libertarian socialist ideas, including
such writers as Gerrard Winstanley, William Godwin, Charles
Fourier, Max Stirner, as well as the early anarchist writings of
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Errico
Malatesta, Elisee Reclus, Leo Tolstoy, and Emma Goldman.
This incomparable volume deals both with the positive ideas and
proposals the anarchists tried to put into practice, and with the
anarchist critiques of the authoritarian theories and practices
confronting them during these years with their revolutionary
upheavals.
Robert Graham has written extensively on the history of
anarchist ideas. He is the author of "The Role of Contract in
Anarchist Ideology," in the Routledge publication, "For Anarchism,"
edited by David Goodway, and he wrote the introduction to the 1989
Pluto Press edition of Proudhon's "General Idea of the Revolution
in the 19th Century," originally published in 1851. He has been
doing research and writing on the historical development of
anarchist ideas for over 20 years and is a well respected
commentator in the field.
Includes original portraits of the anarchists drawn by Maurice
Spira specifically for this book Spira's imagery is rooted to the
political, his subject matter global. Works such as "Battle of
Seattle," "Gulf," and "Refugees" are the visual equivalent of
newspaper headlines.
