Benjamin R. Tucker

Benjamin R. Tucker (1854-1939)

While some of my earliest major projects focused on the work of Tucker and his circle, including the digitization of Liberty, Libertas and the Radical Review, my extensive notes have never been collected online. This page is finally an attempt to draw that material in one place, starting with the notes from the old Libertarian Labyrinth wiki and existing posts here in the main archive.

Sidney H. Morse, “Ethics of the Homestead Strike” (1892)

“Ethics of the Homestead Strike” appeared in the third volume of The Conservator over the signature “* * *.” In the next volume, another tale, “A Social Symphony: In Six Movements,” appeared with the same signature. It was, however, interrupted after the fourth “movement.” The style of the work suggests it is another work by Sidney H. Morse, so I have included it here, at the end of “Ethics.” Related links: in The Conservator [Google Books] pamphlet [Google Books] Bilbliography: * * * [Sidney H.

Edward Carpenter

Edward Carpenter (1844-1929)

Essays by Edward Carpenter were staples in the early Corvus Editions catalog and my files are full of material related to his life and work, but the vagaries of multiple archive relocations have left the Libertarian Labyrinth surprisingly short of that work. This author page is a start at rectifying that problem.
