Wyndham Lewis in 1917
151 words
Wyndham Lewis was born on this day in 1882. A first-rate novelist, critic, and painter, he was a leading English exponent of fascist modernism. In honor of his birth, I wish to draw your attention to the following works on this website:
- Kerry Bolton, “Wyndham Lewis” (French translation here)
- Jonathan Bowden, “Classical Modernism and the Art of the Radical Right“
- Jonathan Bowden, “Elitism, British Modernism, and Wyndham Lewis” (transcript)
- Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis” (podcast)
- Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ Tarr: An Exercise in Right-Wing Psychology”
- Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ The Apes of God”
- Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ Childermass: Black Metal, without the Music”
- Alex Kurtagić, “Some Sort of Nietzschean”
Kerry Bolton’s essay and Bowden’s “Elitism, British Modernism, and Wyndham Lewis” are both excellent overviews of Wyndham Lewis’s life and work.

Bowden was an uneducated moron. You could have done a much better praise of Lewis without him. Just a shame. You’ve let yourself down.
I am an educated person, so I think I am entitled to judge on this matter, and Bowden was certainly not an uneducated moron. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder when it comes to Bowden. I am banning you from commenting here and on Facebook.
This can’t be the real Gregory Lauder-Frost can it? There must be a story behind this.
