AB - This article examines Edward Douglas Fawcett’s scientific romance Hartmann the Anarchist in the context of the politics of the 1890s. Fawcett’s portrayal of anarchism rising to prominence with Hartmann’s invention of an airship conveys two conflicting views of anarchism: the dominant stereotype of the anarchist as destroyer of the social fabric, and a consideration of anarchism as a serious political ideology. Fawcett’s romance warns of the dangerous excesses of revolutionary violence, thus making the narrator’s progressive socialism seem like the rational solution to social discontents. Yet, the text ultimately suggests the violence is sometimes a necessary catalyst for political change.
