Corvus Editions: Anarchistic Frontiers

July 12, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

I am not sure there is any way forward but to gather together the fruits of the last couple of decades or research and present them for use, as if there was an audience ready and willing to use them. And since we’re talking about works deemed insufficiently commercial even for the niches filled by anarchist publishers and academic presses, the way to do that is through print-on-demand volumes. So the next phase of the Corvus Edition story involves a line of collections published through Lulu.

July 5, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

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.

Edward Carpenter (1844-1929)

July 4, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

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.
