THE ANARCHISM OF JEAN GRAVE

Jean Grave (1854-1939) was a leading French anarchist whose theoretical works and activity place him alongside such luminaries as Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, and Kropotkin. Drawing on various archival and library sources, Louis Patsouras traces the controversies and convictions that shaped the life and career of this extraordinary radical thinker, set within the fascinating socioeconomic context of Grave's time.

Louis Patsouras is Professor of History at Kent State University, and author of Simone Weil and the Socialist Tradition, The Crucible of Socialism, and Debating Marx.
