Charles-Ange Laisant was a politician (an extreme left-wing boulangiste) and a writer on politics (L'Anarchie bourgeoise (1887)), Pourquoi et comment je suis boulangiste (1887) and mathematics (Introduction à la méthode des quaternions (1881), Théorie et applications des équipollences (1887)). Influenced by his son Albert Laisant he became an anarchist in 1893 until his death. He was one of the signatories of Kropotkin's Manifeste des Seize in 1916.

The only books by Albert Laisant that I can find are the booklet Le Néo-Malthusisme est-il moral ? (1910), which he co-wrote with Albert Naquet, and the children's story Magojana : le maître du secret (1927).
