Sir Herbert Edward Read, DSO, MC (1893–1968) was an English anarchist
Early life
He was born in
Early work
His first volume of poetry was "Songs of Chaos", self-published in 1915. His second collection, published in 1919, was called "Naked Warriors" and drew on his experiences fighting in the trenches of the
Read was also interested in the art of writing. He cared deeply about style and structure and summarized his views in "English Prose Style" (1928), a primer on -- as well as a philosophy of -- good writing. The book is considered one of the best on the foundations of the English language and how those foundations can and have been used to write English with elegance and distinction.
Art criticism
However, Read was (and remains) better known as an art critic. He was a champion of modern British artists such as
Anarchism and philosophical outlook
Politically Read regarded himself as an
Dividing Read's writings on politics from those on art and culture is difficult as he saw art, culture and politics as a single congruent expression on human consciousness. His total work amounts to over 1,000 published titles.
"To Hell With Culture" was republished by
In his philosophical outlook, Read was close to the European
Read was probably the first English writer to take an interest in the writings of the French
Death and legacy
Following his death in 1968, Read was neglected, arguably due to the increasing predominance of social theories of art, including Marxism, in academia. His work continued to be read by some followers and academics. In the 1990s there was a revival of interest in him following a major exhibition in 1993 at Leeds City Art Gallery. Since then more of his work has been republished and there was a "Herbert Read Conference", at

On 11 November 1985, Read was among 16 Great War poets commemorated on a slate stone unveiled in
Quotes and excerpts
*"Art is an attempt to create pleasing forms."
*'Theirs is the hollow victory. They are deceived. But you my brother and my ghost, if you can go
Knowing that there is no reward, no certain use
In all your sacrifice, then honour is reprieved.
To fight without hope is to fight with grace,
The self reconstructed, the false heart repaired.'-To a Conscript of 1940 [ [http://website.lineone.net/~nusquam/conscrip.htm To A Conscript Of 1940 by Herbert Read ] ]
From "To Hell With Culture":
*"A democracy does not despise or suppress that faculty which the totalitarian socialist makes so elusive – his thinking or rational faculty. The libertarian socialist must also plan, but his plans, apart from being tentative and experimental, will make the widest use of all human faculties.
*"The libertarian planner must also remember that cities are built for citizens, and the houses and buildings will be inhabited, not by ciphers, but by human beings with sensations and feelings, and that these human beings will be unhappy unless they can freely express themselves in their environment.
*"For it is upon personal happiness that society ultimately and collectively depends."
From "Poetry and Anarchism":
*"In order to create it is necessary to destroy; and the agent of destruction in society is the poet. I believe that the poet is necessarily an anarchist, and that he must oppose all organized conceptions of the State, not only those which we inherit from the past, but equally those which are imposed on people in the name of the future."
