Dora Marsden vs. Benjamin Tucker and Steven Byington
Benjamin Tucker and Steven Byington, the publisher and translator, respectively,
of the english verison of Max Stirner's "The Ego and His Own", spent some
time contributing articles and letters to the editor to The New Freewoman
and The Egoist. Tucker came out of his retirement from publishing "Liberty"
to contribute to The New Freewoman. He had called The Freewoman "the most
important publication in existence". His contributions came to an abrupt
end, when he and Byington sparred with Marsden over anarchism and egoism.
The contributions of Tucker and Byington to The New Freewoman and The Egoist, including
their letters to the editor, are included in the files below:
