Prominent literary figures, such as Ezra Pound, Hilaire Belloc and the Chestertons, led a revolt against liberal parliamentary democracy in Britain. This group despised parliaments as representing and embodying a 'nation'. Villis examines the literary works, private papers, correspondence and memoirs of the leaders of this anti-Semitic, anti-modern, anti-women's rights movement that formed the intellectual underpinning of European fascism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments – vii Introduction – 1 Readers, Writers and Intellectual Networks – 19 Elitism and the Revolt of the Masses – 41 The Forging of an Anti-Parliamentary Tradition – 72 The Nation – 107 The \u003ci\u003eNew Age,\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eNew Witness \u003c\/i\u003eand the Jews – 146 ‘Sterile Virgins on the Drab Rampage’: the Image of Women in the\u003ci\u003e New Ages \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eNew Witness\u003c\/i\u003e – 174 Conclusion – 192 Notes – 197 Bibliography – 239 Index – 255","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042945532247,"sku":"9781845110390","price":123.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845110390.jpg?v=1750956353","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reaction-and-the-avant-garde-the-revolt-against-liberal-democracy-in-early-twentieth-century-britain-9781845110390","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
