The Complete Anti-Federalist
- The Complete Anti-Federalist
"The Complete Anti-Federalist" is a seven-volume collection of Anti-Federalist writings compiled by Herbert Storing and Murray Dry, who oversaw the completion of the project after Storing's death. The work is one of the standard collections of Anti-Federalist work and perhaps the most comprehensive, excluding "The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution" produced by the Wisconsin Historical Society. Michael Lienesch treats it as "definitive," and many of the pamphlets and other materials included had not previously been published in a collection. Aside from its comprehensiveness, the collection was noted for its sympathetic portrayal of the Anti-Federalists.
The work was begun in 1963 and published in 1981.
