Introduction

Augustin Frédéric Hamon (1862–1945) was a French socialist-anarchist writer and editor.
Hamon founded the anarchist magazine L'Humanité nouvelle in 1897, and edited it until 1903.
Hamon met George Bernard Shaw for the first time at a Fabian Congress in London in 1894. From 1904 onwards he and his wife Henriette (née Rynenbroeck) translated Shaw's work into French.
His papers are held at the International Institute of Social History.
