Publisher description

"Kerry Bolton’s Artists of the Right: Resisting Decadence is a study of ten leading 20th-century literary artists—including pioneering modernists—who were sympathetic with Fascism and/or National Socialism:

  • D. H. Lawrence
  • H. P. Lovecraft
  • Gabriele D’Annunzio
  • Filippo Marinetti
  • W. B. Yeats
  • Knut Hamsun
  • Ezra Pound
  • Wyndham Lewis
  • Henry Williamson
  • Roy Campbell

Bolton relates their political commitments to their lives, their art, and their economic, religious, and philosophical convictions. In lucid, driving prose, Kerry Bolton utterly demolishes some of the sturdiest prejudices of the liberal mind."
