Charlotte Wilson was the principal founder of Freedom Press, and the first editor of the anarchist newspaper Freedom, in 1886. She had been writing about anarchism in the socialist press since 1884, and like the work of her better-known contemporary Peter Kropotkin, whom she invited to England to join the Freedom group, her anarchist writings are scholarly, original, thoughtful and clear. 11 short essays, together with historical and biographical notes by Nicolas Walter.

One of the finest short introductions to the basic concepts, theories and practical applications of anarchism. First written in the 60s, it has yet to be surpassed. This handsome new edition includes an introduction by his daughter, the British feminist author Natasha Walter.

A collection of articles written from 1886-1907.

Nicolas Walter helped create the surge of political dissent that came to Britain in the 1960s and 70s. For forty years he was a contributor to the anarchist press, principally Freedom and its companion periodicals Anarchy and The Raven. He was active in many groups including the "Spies for Peace" and the Rationalist Press Association, editing The New Humanist. This volume selects from his extensive writings on anarchist history and theory. This book is a virtual history of anarchism, reaching from its prehistory in the American Revolution to the work of Murray Bookchin and Colin Ward
