Josiah Warren:
the incompleat anarchist

HAROLD BARCLAY


Josiah warren has been pre­sen­ted to the world by his various inter­pre­ters as an indi­vidu­alist anar­chist and as the first Ame­ri­can anar­chist. His bio­graph­er, W. Bailie, en­tit­led his work, Josiah Warren: The First Ame­ri­can Anar­chist (1906). Two recent antho­lo­gies of anar­chist wri­tings, I. L. Horo­witz’ The Anar­chists (1964) and L. I. Krimerman and Lewis Perry’s Patterns of Anarchy (1966), each have selec­tions from Warren. George Wood­cock in his survey of anar­chism devotes several para­graphs to Warren and writes: “… he deve­loped the theory of sove­reign­ty of the indi­vidu­al which has led to his being regar­ded, rightly, I think, as the first Ame­ri­can anar­chist” (1962, p. 456).
