Publisher's Synopsis
""Francisco Ferrer, Criminal Conspirator"" is a book by John Augustine Ryan that provides a response to the articles written by William Archer in McClure's Magazine in November and December of 1910. The book explores the life and ideas of Francisco Ferrer, a Spanish educator and anarchist who was accused of being involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Ryan argues that Ferrer was unjustly accused and that his ideas about education and social reform were misunderstood. The book provides a detailed account of Ferrer's life, including his early years, his involvement in anarchist circles, and his efforts to establish a network of schools that would promote progressive education. Ryan also examines the political and social context in which Ferrer lived, including the tensions between anarchists and the government, and the role of the Catholic Church in Spanish society. Overall, ""Francisco Ferrer, Criminal Conspirator"" offers a compelling defense of Ferrer's legacy and his contributions to the field of education and social reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
