Transnational Activism through the Prism of Anarchism, and Vice Versa
Chapter Four of Daniel Laqua's Activism across Borders , on “Class, Revolution and Social Justice”, opens stimulating avenues for reflection with its cross-partisan approach, over an ambitious chronological span – from the post-1848 wave of revolutionary exile to the contemporary global justice movement. From the perspective of a historian of pre-1914 transnational anarchism, this brief review essay considers three prominent aspects of this chapt…
Banal and everyday (inter)nationalism: French and Italian anarchist exiles in London, 1870s–1914
This article explores the anarchists' multilayered theoretical and practical engagement with the concepts and performance of nations, nationalism and national belonging, by applying the frameworks of banal nationalism (understood as an ideology) and everyday nationhood (the daily practices in which nation and nationhood are enacted) as analytical categories, to investigate the Italian and French anarchist exile groups in London between 1870 and 1…
‘French lady seeks … ’: Finding work as a French governess in late Victorian and Edwardian England (1870–1914)
While the presence of thousands of French governesses in Britain at any given time between 1870 and 1914 is well-known, and despite the significant scholarly literature examining governesses as well as cross-Channel grassroots exchanges in the Late-Victorian and Edwardian periods, little is known about the realities of these women’s lives. They remain largely invisibilised by stereotypes of sensuousness—if not deviancy—constructed by contemporary…
Reencountering The French Anarchists in London, 1880-1914: Archival and Historiographic Reassessments
This article follows up on the book The French Anarchists in London, 1880-1914 (2013), by exploring some primary material uncovered since this publication, and considering the ways in which research into the history of anarchism as a transnational movement has evolved. In the years since the publication of this book, a great deal of research has furthered or challenged its findings, especially in relation to print culture and the study of global …
Jean Grave and the Networks of French Anarchism, 1854-1939
La culture de la campagne médiatique dans le mouvement anarchiste de la Belle Époque: Jean Grave et « les atrocités espagnoles » (1885-1909)
Cet article présente les caractéristiques principales des campagnes de presse du mouvement anarchiste communiste en France contre la répression antirévolutionnaire en Espagne entre 1885-1909, à partir de l’activisme du journaliste et éditeur Jean Grave. Trois aspects essentiels sont présentés : le rôle multiple de l’imprimé comme vecteur essentiel de la mobilisation, l’organisation parfois problématique de coalitions progressistes et l’amplificat…
Nunzio Pernicone and Fraser M. Ottanelli. Assassins against the Old Order: Italian Anarchist Violence in Fin de Siècle Europe
Assassins against the Old Order: Italian Anarchist Violence in Fin de Siècle Europe, a posthumously published monograph by Nunzio Pernicone and brought to completion by Fraser M. Ottanelli, achieves the considerable feat of making a compelling, innovative argument about late nineteenth-century transnational anarchist terrorism. This history of anarchist political violence in Italy brings fresh perspectives to the abundant recent historiography of…
Jean Grave and French Anarchism: A Relational Approach (1870s–1914)
This article proposes a biographical approach to the study of anarchist activism, applied to the French journalist, editor, theorist, novelist, educator, and campaigner Jean Grave, one of the most influential figures in the French and international anarchist movement between the late 1870s and World War I. Adopting a relational approach delineating Grave’s formal and informal connections, it focuses on the role of print in Grave’s activism, throu…
Louise Michel's London years: A political reassessment (1890-1905)
This article proposes a political reassessment of the long period of time spent in London by the French Communard-turned-anarchist Louise Michel (1890–1905). It emphasises the breadth of her militant repertoire as well as her very concrete engagement in specific political projects, and highlights the coherence of her political outlook and activities. This perspective challenges predominantly masculinist portrayals of Michel, which focus heavily o…
Terrorism and Its Policing
Between its emergence in the 1870s and the beginning of the First World War, public perception of the anarchist movement and the theoretical and legal frameworks used to comprehend and control it underwent a dual process of criminalization and internationalization. The use of terrorism by anarchists was pivotal to these evolutions, as was its reception by alarmed populations and governments faced with unprecedented forms of political violence. An…

Reassessing the Transnational Turn: Scales of Analysis in Anarchist and Syndicalist Studies
This edited volume reassesses the ongoing transnational turn in anarchist and syndicalist studies, a field where the interest in cross-border connections has generated much innovative literature in the last decade. It presents and extends up-to-date research into several dynamic historiographic fields, and especially the history of the anarchist and syndicalist movements and the notions of transnational militancy and informal political networks. …
The Franco-British Syndicalist Connection and the Great Labour Unrest, 1880s-1914
This chapter explores the transfers between French and British trade unionism between 1880 and 1914, and the transnational elaboration of syndicalism in this period. The role of press exchanges and informal personal networks of influential militants is emphasized, as is the fact that influences between French and British militants travelled both ways - not simply from France to Great Britain, as is often assumed. Discourses on these cross-influen…
Anarchistes de la bombe, anarchistes de l'idée: Les anarchistes français à Londres, 1880-1895
Les activités politiques des quelques centaines d'anarchistes francophones exilés en Grande-Bretagne entre 1880 et 1914 ont, au cours de ces dernières années, fait l'objet d'interprétations historiographiques divergentes. La thématique terroriste, prépondérante pour les contemporains de ce mouvement, a ainsi été reprise par divers ouvrages. Or une lecture transnationale permet de faire apparaître une tout autre image : celle de groupes à l'organi…
The French Anarchists in London, 1880–1914: Exile and Transnationalism in the First Globalisation
The French Anarchists in London, 1880-1914: Exile and Transnationalism in the First Globalisation
This book recounts the story of the 500 or so French anarchists exiled in London between 1880 and 1914. As the anarchist movement went through a terrorist phase which was especially bloody in France, the drastic repression that followed forced hundreds of ‘companions’ (the nickname of anarchists) out of the country. As most European countries closed their borders to political refugees – and above all the highly-stigmatised anarchists – at the end…

The Recent Historiography of French Anarchism: Terrorists, Networks, Transnationalism, and a Few Polemics
This article reviews three recent books on the history of the late nineteenth-century French anarchist movement—one by the French historian Vivien Bouhey and the other two by American scholars, Alexander McKinley and John Merriman. It replaces these works in the context of a renewed interest in the study of the anarchist movement, as an early example of transnational terrorist organisation, and as a relevant field of application for the historiog…
The Militant Go-between: Émile Pouget's Transnational Propaganda (1880–1914)
This article is a study of the transnational activism of the French anarchist militant Emile Pouget (1860–1931), from his early days in the 1880s as an agitator and as the editor of the scathing anarchist weekly Père Peinard, through to his key role in the spread of revolutionary syndicalism in France and beyond. Against dominant representations focusing on his substantial journalistic and organizational propaganda exclusively within national bou…
