Synopsis HARTMANN THE ANARCHIST BYE. DOUGLAS FAWCETT by : E. DOUGLAS FAWCETT
Hartmann the Anarchist or The Doom of the Great City is a science fiction novel by Edward Douglas Fawcett first published in 1893.[1] It remained out of print for over 100 years and has only recently been re-published.The plot centers around Mr Stanley, a young moneyed gentleman who aims to stand for election as part of the Labour party in the early 20th century. Through his associations with many of London's most prominent socialists and anarchists, he encounters and befriends Rudolph Hartmann and 'goes along' with Hartmann's plan to attack London using his airship The Attila. Much of London is destroyed by fire and shells in the beginning of their plans to replace civilization with anarchism:"But how is the new order to take shape? How educe system from chaos?""We want no more 'systems,' or 'constitutions' -- we shall have anarchy. Men will effect by voluntary association, and abjure the foulness of the modern wage-slavery and city-mechanisms.""But can you expect the more brutal classes to thrive under this system. Will they not rather degenerate into savagery?""You forget the Attila will still sail the breeze, and she will then have her fleet of consorts.""What! You do not propose, then, to leave anarchy unreasoned?""Not at once -- the transition would be far too severe. Some supervision must necessarily be exercised, but, as a rule, it will never be more than nominal."

Synopsis The World as Imagination by : Edward Douglas Fawcett
Excerpt from The World as Imagination: Series I "Ideas," coloured by emotions, "rule the world." The crisis through which Europe is passing is, above all, the fruit of false ideas; false conceptions of the standing of the individual, of the State, and of the meaning of the World-System regarded as a whole. Sooner or later a reconstruction of philosophical, religious, ethical, etc., beliefs, in the interests of ourselves and our successors, will be imperative. The World as Imagination is simply an experiment in this direction; that of bettering thought about the more important problems of life. Experiments of the kind will be numerous; and, in the end, let us hope, one or some of them will hit the mark.

Synopsis The Next War in the Air by : Brett Holman
In the early twentieth century, the new technology of flight changed warfare irrevocably, not only on the battlefield, but also on the home front. As prophesied before 1914, Britain in the First World War was effectively no longer an island, with its cities attacked by Zeppelin airships and Gotha bombers in one of the first strategic bombing campaigns. Drawing on prewar ideas about the fragility of modern industrial civilization, some writers now began to argue that the main strategic risk to Britain was not invasion or blockade, but the possibility of a sudden and intense aerial bombardment of London and other cities, which would cause tremendous destruction and massive casualties. The nation would be shattered in a matter of days or weeks, before it could fully mobilize for war. Defeat, decline, and perhaps even extinction, would follow. This theory of the knock-out blow from the air solidified into a consensus during the 1920s and by the 1930s had largely become an orthodoxy, accepted by pacifists and militarists alike. But the devastation feared in 1938 during the Munich Crisis, when gas masks were distributed and hundreds of thousands fled London, was far in excess of the damage wrought by the Luftwaffe during the Blitz in 1940 and 1941, as terrible as that was. The knock-out blow, then, was a myth. But it was a myth with consequences. For the first time, The Next War in the Air reconstructs the concept of the knock-out blow as it was articulated in the public sphere, the reasons why it came to be so widely accepted by both experts and non-experts, and the way it shaped the responses of the British public to some of the great issues facing them in the 1930s, from pacifism to fascism. Drawing on both archival documents and fictional and non-fictional publications from the period between 1908, when aviation was first perceived as a threat to British security, and 1941, when the Blitz ended, and it became clear that no knock-out blow was coming, The Next War in the Air provides a fascinating insight into the origins and evolution of this important cultural and intellectual phenomenon, Britain's fear of the bomber.
