<p>This article examines
anarchist responses across three generations to the split in the anarchist
movement at the outbreak of the First World War. Focusing on appreciations of
Peter Kropotkin’s role in that division, it demonstrates how shifting
contextual circumstances and a developing memory of the war subsequently
reshaped the narrative of these events in ways that reflected the broader
memory of the war. Arguing that curation of a political tradition’s history is
central to the self-identity of that tradition, the article investigates this
process as successive generations of anarchists tried to make sense of the
anarchist split in 1914, and, in turn, define their own political projects. </p><br>
