Hippolyte Havel (1871 - 1950) was a Czech anarchist who lived in Greenwich Village, New York, which he declared to be "a spiritual zone of mind". [1] [2] He was close friends with Emma Goldman.
In 1900, Havel accompanied Goldman in a visit to Paris, France in preparation for the September International Anti-Parliamentary Congress.
Havel was the editor of The Revolutionary Almanac (1914) and Revolt (1916).
He was married to the anarchist Polly Holliday but may also have been Goldman's lover. In the late 1910s, Havel took in Berenice Abbott as his adopted daughter.
He wrote a biography of Emma Goldman and an introductory essay to her collected Anarchism and Other Essays.
The Hippolytic, a left-wing student publication at Yale University, is named after Havel and his life of cosmopolitan dissent.
