What is it about?
This article is building on Graeber's call for an Anarchist Literary Theory to be developed, and uses the work of George Dyer, a pamphleteer from the British Romantic era, to attempt an anarchist reading.

Why is it important?
Prior to this issue of Literature Compass, there was little if any explicit anarchist literary theory, as well as modern scholarship on Dyer.
Perspectives
This article came from a call to action by the late David Graeber, whose work in the field of history and anarchism, are of immense importance. Further, Graeber's call was a zine that I bought at a punk rock show. I find that important, as his own philosophy dealt with accessibility. I first read the zine long before I went to college, and remembered the zine when I saw the CFP years later.
