RISKING VILIFICATION, BOYCOTT AND CENSURE from the majority of their fellow scholars, who sold themselves for popularity and money, the “non-conformist” authors published within this rare volume were looking for alternatives to meet the many crises of the 20th century (most of the issues they wrote about are still unresolved here in the 21st), including a return to aristocracy or to the “new” doctrine of fascism. These “literati” of the Right spoke to the soul, rather than to money or the stock market. They asked the kinds of questions about industrialization, democracy and the rise of the money power that have yet to be answered. Despite their persecution, this dissident minority has had a lasting impact on our cultural heritage, albeit one that must contend with the deluge of the banal promoted by Hollywood and Madison Avenue. Includes essays from Spengler, Nietzsche, D.H. Lawrence, D’Annunzio, Marinetti, Hamsun, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, Roy Campbell, Stephenson, Fairburn, Mishima and Evola. By K.R. Bolton.
