Publisher description

"Kerry Boltonโ€™s Artists of the Right: Resisting Decadence is a study of ten leading 20th-century literary artistsโ€”including pioneering modernistsโ€”who were sympathetic with Fascism and/or National Socialism:

  • D. H. Lawrence
  • H. P. Lovecraft
  • Gabriele Dโ€™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."
