Although marginal as a political force, anarchist ideas developed in Britain into a political tradition. This book explores this lost history, offering a new appraisal of the work of Kropotkin and Read, and examining the ways in which they endeavoured to articulate a politics fit for the particular challenges of Britain's modern history.

Matthew S. Adams is Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria, Canada. Amongst others, he has published in the journals Historical Research, Journal of the History of Ideas, History of Political Thought, and History of European Ideas.
