Nightmares Of Anarchy: Language and Cultural Change, 1870-1914
Before terrorists it was communists, of course, but before the Russian Revolution, it was anarchists who were hiding under every bed. Phillips (literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, Maryville College, Tennessee) examines the first period of anarchist activity in Britain and the US to understand the complex history that the word embodies, and to show how the same conflicts between authority and liberty, between order and freedom, that anarchists voiced then are still at play a century later. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
