Anarchy and Culture by David Weir
This study examines the affinity for anarchism that developed among late 19th-century writers, and shows that anarchism is the key aesthetic principle informing the work of modernist figures. Weir concludes that anarchism is still with us as cultural condition, if not a political one.
