MORE CRAZED ANARCHIST AIRSHIP COMMANDERS………ANARCHY BY ZEPPELIN!

Thanks Nik for pointing out Hartmann is available to read online. I've
since discovered 'THE ANGEL OF THE REVOLUTION' by RICHARD CHETWYND
GRIFFITH written about the same time and another excitig accountof
revolutionaries bringing anarchy by airship terror! Thanks to PROJECT
GUTENBERG you can also read this out of print text online. Unlike
Fawcett Griffith was a genuine radical socialist/anarchist much
influenced by William Moris and the book describes the socilist
utopians bombing their way to anarchy! Like fawcett Grifith didnt just
sit at home - he was off adventuring and discovered the source of the
Amazon 20 years before Fawcett's brother got lost up it. There's a
whole genre of crazed airship commanders - and submarines in the case
of Verne's embittered eco-warror Captain Nemo -with anarcho-terrorist
sensibilities. I've even discovered an article entitled ' CLASS
TREACHERY IN AIRSHIPCOMMANDERS IN LATE VICTORIAN FICTION'……..straight
up! What a fucking find comrades!


A Traitor to His Class: The Anarchist in British Fiction.

by Haia Shpayer-Makov

A plethora of novels published in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain
contain anarchist characters. In the great majority of these works the
anarchist is featured as a villain of a particularly pernicious kind.
He is a master criminal, almost always part of a large-scale anarchist
conspiracy whose aim is to destroy civilized society

The latest KATE SHARP LIBRARY REVIEW contains a review by JOHN BARKER
of THOMAS PYNCHON'S 'AGAINST THE DAY' - combining airships and
anarchy! Back to the future comrades
