Jean Grave and the Anarchist Tradition in France

by Louis Patsouras

Jean Grave (1854-1939) was a leading French anarcho-communist in the 1880-1920 period, whose theoretical works and activity place him alongside such anarchist luminaries as William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin. Drawing on various archival and library sources, Louis Patsouras traces the controversies and convictions that shaped the life and the career of this extraordinary radical thinker, set within the fascinating socioeconomic context of Graves's time.
