Here is a selection of those arti- cles. The first article I wrote, a biographical sketch of Mackay, “Anarchist of Love,” pub- lished in Alternate, a gay magazine in San Francisco, is not included here; it has been ex- panded several times and will appear as a separate ebook. Next was a brief article I wrote for publication in the German gay magazine Du & Ich while on sabbatical leave from Providence College (Rhode Island) and a guest of the Institute for the History of Science, University of Munich, in 1982–1983. Later that year I read an English version at the international gathering of gay scholars “Among Men, Among Women: Sociological and historical recognition of homosocial arrangements” at the University of Amsterdam, 22–26 June 1983. Both versions are included here. My interest in Mackay’s writings had been prompted by a new edition in 1979 of the two volumes of his “Bücher der namenlosen Liebe” (Books of the Nameless Love), a joint publication of the Verlag rosa Winkel (Berlin) and the Verlag der Mackay- Gesellschaft (Freiburg/Breisgau). It was also in Munich during my sabbatical year 1982– 1983 that I translated the second volume, Mackay’s novel Der Puppenjunge, into English as The Hustler (published in 1985 by Alyson Publications, Boston). I also spent two months in Freiburg, where I translated Kurt Helmut Zube’s biography of Mackay, using a second typewriter in his home while he worked indefatigably on yet another Mackay publication. Zube was the secretary of the Mackay-Gesellschaft, founded by him in 1974, and almost single-handedly brought most of Mackay’s writings back into print. My trans- lation of the biography Der Bannbrecher John Henry Mackay: Sein Leben und sein Werk by K. H. Z. Solneman (Zube’s pseudonym) was meant to be a publication of the Mackay- Gesellschaft, but never appeared. On returning to Providence College, where I was professor of mathematics, I contin- ued to read the works of Mackay, whose anarchist view I found very congenial. I noted that this view was at the heart of his early love poem Helene, but had been overlooked there by both Kurt Zube and by Mackay’s American biographer Thomas A. Riley, whose Germany’s Poet-Anarchist John Henry Mackay: A Contribution to the History of Ger- 4 man Literature at the Turn of the Century, 1880–1920 (New York: The Revisionist Press, 1972) was essentially his PhD dissertation at Harvard University in 1946. This resulted in my first “Mackay” article in a scholarly journal, “No good deed goes unpunished: John Henry Mackay’s Helene” (1986). Using the pseudonym Sagitta, Mackay wrote explicitly about the “nameless love”— his name for homosexuality and, in particular, for the love between men and boys. In my reading of Helene I discovered that the title character must have been patterned after a boy described in his “Sagitta” novel Fenny Skaller. This put me on the alert for more unnoticed references to boy-love in his non-Sagitta writings. I found one in the very short story “Ein Abschied: Ein später Brief” (A Farewell: A Late Letter), which had gone un- noticed by both of Mackay’s biographers as well as by Edward Mornin in his literary study Kunst und Anarchismus: “innere Zusammenhänge” in den Schriften John Henry Mackays (Freiburg/Br.: Mackay-Gesellschaft, 1983). All three had assumed that an un- named former lover of a dying man was a woman. I read that character, whose gender was never stated in the story, as a man and the former relationship as one of man-boy love. I called Mackay’s tactic “hiding in the open” and I made that the title of the article in which I reported my find in the journal Paidika in 1991. Homosexuality was not entirely absent from Mackay’s fiction under his own name. It occurred in a matter-of-fact way in his late novella Der Unschuldige (The Innocent, 1931). The way in which he treated it there was extraordinary for the time. I pointed this out in the article “Twilight of the Gods: John Henry Mackay’s Der Unschuldige” in Journal of Homosexuality in 1993. A German translation then appeared in Forum Homo- sexualität und Literatur in 1995. Both versions are included here. In 1989 Edward Mornin edited a volume of writings left unpublished by Mackay on his death in 1933. It included a novel and three short stories. I wrote about one of those short stories in “Anarchist Angst: John Henry Mackay’s ‘The Adoption,’” which ap- peared in the James White Review in 1997. The year 1997 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the first gay right’s organization in Berlin. To mark the occasion there was an exhibition “Goodbye to Ber- lin? – 100 Jahre Schwulenbewegung” at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. I was invited to speak at the lecture series in connection with it and read my paper “John Henry Mac- 5 kay, ein Berliner Original” on 18 June 1997. It was later printed (with added footnotes) in Forum Homosexualität und Literatur. The point of departure for my speech was the play Die Sozialaristokraten (The Social Aristocrats) by Arno Holz, which had its premiere in Berlin also in 1897. I recalled the centenary of Holz’s play and the fact that one of the characters in it was modeled on Mackay. This allowed me to view him as a “ein Berliner Original” (a Berlin original). Because of the extensive quotations from Holz and for other reasons I have not put the paper into English. In 1990 Mark Sullivan, secretary of the Mackay Society (New York), planned a “centennial edition” of Mackay’s book The Anarchists, which was first published in German and English in 1891, and asked me to write an introduction for it. When the book finally appeared (Brooklyn, NY: Autonomedia, 1999), it also contained two other brief notes by me (one on “Some Personalities in The Anarchists” and the other a list of edi- tions of the work) along with several other essays, among them a literary study by Ed- ward Mornin. Only my introduction is included here. The work itself, in the 1891 English translation by George Schumm, may be read on the Internet at: http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/macan/macan.html. In the years 2000–2002 I self-published with Xlibris five volumes of translations of the writings of Mackay, for each of which I wrote an introduction and/or an afterword. The Swimmer was published in 2001 as a “centenary edition” of the original publication in 1901. To further mark the centenary, Wolfram Setz combined my introduction and afterword to the novel and put it into German for publication in Forum Homosexualität und Literatur (2001). Thus four of the articles included here are in English only, two in German only, and two in both languages. And in the nature of such publications there are many repetitions. But I hope readers will find sufficient original material here to attract their interest! * * * For the present collection I have put the articles into a more uniform format (turning all endnotes into footnotes, for example), but have otherwise not changed the wording, although typos and some other minor corrections have been made. In particular, page 6 numbers in references always refer to the original publications, even where the publica- tion referred to is also in this collection. 7 8 In: Du&Ich, 15(6) (June 1983): 50–51 Knabenliebe in den Schriften des Anarchisten John Henry Mackay Als der deutsche Schriftsteller John Henry Mackay vor 50 Jahren starb, blieb dies fast unbemerkt. Die wenigen Todesanzeigen haben ein falsches Datum oder stellten gar sein Leben ganz falsch dar: eine Anzeige in Bulgarien erwähnte zum Beispiel nicht ein- mal seinen Anarchismus, für den er am meisten bekannt war. Damals war die Zeit der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten, und Mackay, der sich seit fast 50 Jahren gegen die aggressive Gewalt gewandt hatte, wurde zur Unperson. Wahrscheinlich enthielt keine in der Nazizeit veröffentlichte Anthologie auch nur ein Gedicht von ihm. Seine anar- chistischen Verse wurden im wilhelminischen Deutschland verboten, aber seine Lyrik wurde viel gelobt, und ein Gedicht, das Richard Strauss vertonte, ist zum populärsten von seinen Liedern geworden. Strauss arrangierte sich mit den Nazis und überlebte. Dies war für Mackay un- möglich gewesen; er starb aber an den Folgen seiner ernsten Krankheit (oder vielleicht durch Selbstmord).

S. 3 Introduction The work of art must speak for the artist who created it; the labor of the thoughtful student who stands back of it permits him to say what impelled him to give his thought voice. The subject of the work just finished requires me to accompany it with a few words. *** First of all, this: Let him who does not know me and who would, perhaps, in the following pages, look for such sensational disclosures as we see in those mendacious speculations upon the gullibility of the public from which the latter derives its sole knowledge of the Anarchistic movement, not take the trouble to read beyond the first page. In no other field of social life does there exist to-day a more lamentable confusion, a more naïve superficiality, a more portentous ignorance than in that of Anarchism.

Plekhanov Halaman 4 Preface to the First English Edition The work of my friend George Plechanoff, Anarchism and Socialism, was written originally in French. It was then translated into German by Mrs. Bernstein, and issued in pamphlet form by the German Social-Democratic Publishing Office Vorwaerts . It was next translated by myself into English, and so much of the translation as exigencies of space would permit, published in the Weekly Times and Echo . As to the book itself. There are those who think that the precious time of so remarkable a writer, and profound a thinker as George Plechanoff is simply wasted in pricking Anarchist wind-bags. But, unfortunately, there are many of the younger, or of the more ignorant sort, who are inclined to take words for deeds, high-sounding phrases for acts, mere sound and fury for revolutionary activity, and who are too young or too ignorant to know that such sound and fury signify nothing.

  • X Max Stirner
    X MAX STIRNER In 1888 John Henry Mackay, the Scottish-German poet, while at the British Museum reading Lange's History of Materialism, encoimtered the name of Max Stirner and a brief criticism of his forgotten book, Der Einzige und sein Eigenthum (The Only One and His Property; in French translated L'Unique et sa Propri^te, and in the first English translation more aptly and euphoniously entitled The Ego and His Own). His curiosity excited, Mackay, who is an anarchist, procured after some difficulty a copy of the work, and so greatly was he stirred that for ten years he gave himself up to the study of Stimer and his teachings, and after incredible painstaking published in 1898 the story of his life. (Max Stimer: Sein Leben und sein Werk: John Henry Mackay.) To Mackay's labours we owe all we know of a man who was as absolutely swallowed up by the years as if he had never existed. But some advanced spirits had read Stirner's book, the most revolutionary ever written, and had felt its influence. Let us name two: Henrik Ibsen and Frederick Nietzsche. Though the name of Stirner is not quoted by Nietzsche, he nevertheless recommended Stirner to a favourite pupil of his, Professor Baumgartner at Basel University. This was in 1874. One hot August afternoon in the year 1896 at Bayreuth, I was standing in the Marktplatz when a member of the Wagner Theatre pointed out to me a house opposite, at the corner of the Maximilianstrasse, and said: "Do you see that house with the double gables? A man was born there whose name will be green when Jean Paul and Richard Wagner are forgotten." It was too large a draught upon my credulity, so I asked the name.

  • Music Manuscripts and Books Checklist
    THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM MASTERWORKS FROM THE MORGAN: MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS AND BOOKS The Morgan Library & Museum’s collection of autograph music manuscripts is unequaled in diversity and quality in this country. The Morgan’s most recent collection, it is founded on two major gifts: the collection of Mary Flagler Cary in 1968 and that of Dannie and Hettie Heineman in 1977. The manuscripts are strongest in music of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. Also, the Morgan has recently agreed to purchase the James Fuld collection, by all accounts the finest private collection of printed music in the world. The collection comprises thousands of first editions of works— American and European, classical, popular, and folk—from the eighteenth century to the present. The composers represented in this exhibition range from Johann Sebastian Bach to John Cage. The manuscripts were chosen to show the diversity and depth of the Morgan’s music collection, with a special emphasis on several genres: opera, orchestral music and concerti, chamber music, keyboard music, and songs and choral music. Recordings of selected works can be heard at music listening stations. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) Der Schauspieldirektor, K. 486. Autograph manuscript of the full score (1786). Cary 331. The Mary Flagler Cary Music Collection. Mozart composed this delightful one-act Singspiel—a German opera with spoken dialogue—for a royal evening of entertainment presented by Emperor Joseph II at Schönbrunn, the royal summer residence just outside Vienna. It took the composer a little over two weeks to complete Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario). The slender plot concerns an impresario’s frustrated attempts to assemble the cast for an opera.

  • Praise for Revolution and Other Writings: a Political Reader
    PRAISE FOR REVOLUTION AND OTHER WRITINGS: A POLITICAL READER If there were any justice in this world – at least as far as historical memory goes – then Gustav Landauer would be remembered, right along with Bakunin and Kropotkin, as one of anarchism's most brilliant and original theorists. Instead, history has abetted the crime of his murderers, burying his work in silence. With this anthology, Gabriel Kuhn has single-handed- ly redressed one of the cruelest gaps in Anglo-American anarchist litera- ture: the absence of almost any English translations of Landauer. – Jesse Cohn, author of Anarchism and the Crisis of Representation: Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, Politics Gustav Landauer was, without doubt, one of the brightest intellectual lights within the revolutionary circles of fin de siècle Europe. In this remarkable anthology, Gabriel Kuhn brings together an extensive and splendidly chosen collection of Landauer's most important writings, presenting them for the first time in English translation. With Landauer's ideas coming of age today perhaps more than ever before, Kuhn's work is a valuable and timely piece of scholarship, and one which should be required reading for anyone with an interest in radical social change. – James Horrox, author of A Living Revolution: Anarchism in the Kibbutz Movement Kuhn's meticulously edited book revives not only the "spirit of freedom," as Gustav Landauer put it, necessary for a new society but also the spirited voice of a German Jewish anarchist too long quieted by the lack of Eng- lish-language translations. Ahead of his time in many ways, Landauer now speaks volumes in this collection of his political writings to the zeitgeist of our own day: revolution from below.

Mit dieser Schriftenreihe veröffentlichen wir Arbeitsergebnisse und Analysen, die im Kontext des Instituts entstanden sind. Das Institut konzentriert sich auf drei Kernbereiche: 1. die sozialwissenschaftliche Zukunftsfor- schung, 2. das Lern- und Handlungsfeld Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und 3. die Forschung zu Transfer von Wissen und Innovationen. Das Institut Futur hat 2010 außerdem den ersten Studiengang zur Zukunftsforschung im deutsch- sprachigen Raum eingerichtet. Der weiterbildende Masterstudiengang Zukunftsforschung ver- mittelt – anknüpfend an einen ersten Hochschulabschluss und die qualifizierten Berufserfah- rungen der Studentinnen und Studenten – die Techniken wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens in der 2 Zukunftsforschung und stellt gleichzeitig einen starken Bezug zur Praxis her. Die überzeugenden Abschlussarbeiten von Studierenden aus dem Studienzyklus 2012 sind auch ein Anlass, diese Schriftenreihe zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Zukunftsforschung zu starten. Die Palette der Themen ist entsprechend breit gehalten. Vieles hat explorativen Charakter. Das hat zwei Gründe: Erstens basiert die Zukunftsforschung bisher kaum auf einem konsolidierten wissenschaftlichen Fundament. Ihre Qualitäts- und Gütekriterien sind ebenso in der Diskussion wie ihre wissenschafts- und erkenntnistheoretischen Implikationen. Zweitens ist ihr Gegenstand so allumfassend, dass sich das Feld kaum sortieren, geschweige denn kategorisieren lässt.

Four of them are collected here. The first recalls Fitzroy Davis, whom I met in New England shortly before his death in 1980. When I moved to San Francisco in 1986, I immediately joined the San Francisco Bay Area Gay and Lesbian Historical Society. My article on Davis was my first contribu- tion to its Newsletter (which later evolved into OurStories). I welcomed the opportunity to identify him as “Hadrian,” the author of eleven articles in the trilingual Swiss journal Der Kreis. Otherwise that identification might have been lost forever, for there was noth- ing in any of his “Hadrian” articles that would lead one to suspect that Fitzroy Davis was their author. Later I also pointed out this identification in my book The Ideal Gay Man: The Story of Der Kreis (1999).
