Anarchy. Issue 39, May 1964.
London: Freedom Press, 1964. Octavo, original illustrated stapled wraps, b&w illus. (Continuous annual pagination, each issue approx. 30 pages.) The cover story of this issue is "The Legacy of Homer Lane", and it features a number of articles on the educator Homer Lane (1875 - 1925), who the journal calls "a pioneer in the non-punitive treatment of delinquents and of freedom in education". The articles include one by A.S. Neill, who knew Lane and went on to found the famously progressive and counter-cultural school Summerhill. This issue also contains an article on Caryl Chessman, who was executed in the United States in 1960. Very good condition.
"Anarchy" was an anarchist monthly magazine produced in London from March 1961 until December 1970. (Early issues were issued with the subtitle "a journal of anarchist ideas".) It was edited by its founder, Colin Ward, the leading British anarchist writer and a pioneering social historian. The journal was known for its articles on anarchism and reflections on current events from an anarchist perspective, e.g. workers control, criminology, colonialism, squatting, education. It published many important writers. "Anarchy" is generally considered the best anarchist serial of its day for both interesting content and quality of production (including distinctive art and design by the anarchist and illustrator Rufus Segar). "Anarchy" was an important distributor of radical ideas, and remains of great interest for those interested in anarchism, political theory, and political praxis. Item #104203
