BIBLIOGRAPHY

General. The standard work on the history of anarchism
is by Max Nettlau, whose works, collections, and manu-
scripts, acquired by the International Institute of Social
History in Amsterdam, are a monumental source for the
history of anti-authoritarian thought and libertarian social-
ism. Max Nettlau, Der Vorfrühling der Anarchie: Ihre histor-
ische Entwicklung von den Anfängen bis zum Jahre 1864
