^[1]166 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 ^[2]” (French translation here ^[3])
• Jonathan Bowden, “Classical Modernism and the Art of the Radical Right ^[4]“
• Jonathan Bowden, “Elitism, British Modernism, and Wyndham Lewis ^[5]” (transcript)
• Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis ^[6]” (podcast)
• Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ Tarr: An Exercise in Right-Wing Psychology ^[7]” (Bulgarian translation here ^[8])
• ^[9]

  You can buy Kerry Bolton’s Artists of the Right here ^[10].

  Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ The Apes of God ^[11]” (Bulgarian translation here ^[12])

• Jonathan Bowden, “Wyndham Lewis’ Childermass: Black Metal, without the Music ^[13]“
• Adrian Davies, “Culture and ‘Engagement’: French and English Perspectives ^[14]“
• Alex Kurtagić, “Some Sort of Nietzschean ^[15]“

Kerry Bolton’s essay and Bowden’s “Elitism, British Modernism, and Wyndham Lewis” are both excellent overviews of Wyndham Lewis’s life and work.
