I borrowed this from the local library when I was 16 years old 37 years ago! I never took it back even though it all went completely over my head. The only piece I remember understanding was The Tyranny of the Clock by Woodcock himself.
Strangely I still know where that particular copy of the book is - in the possession of an uber liberal hippy musician doing the self sufficiency thing in the Welsh Valleys. Oh, the irony. Full disclosure - he was the bass player in our anarcho punk band!
Anyways, I recently bought another copy off Amazon. It’s next to me right now on my bedside table.

Oh yes I stumbled across your post on that article when I was looking through the George Woodcock (who I haven't read a shred of) tag. He apparently has a ridiculous amount of biographies/"studies" on different people, such as Orwell, who he was friends with, Kropotkin, Proudhon, Godwin, Gabriel Dumont, Huxley, etc. I'm not sure if we needed another anthology of anarchism when there are some already on here (along with texts like the one you mentioned). I personally find Guerin's No Gods, No Masters anthology most informative as far as learning about anarchism and historical events where anarchists played a part. I uploaded it anyway, if not for archival purposes and making it freely available, because it seemed interesting with the addition of Wilde, along with some people I haven't read and I guess one wouldn't typically associate with anarchism.
