    The Search for a Usable Past

    Standardbearers: British Roots of the New Right
    Edited by Jonathan Bowden, Eddy Butler, and Adrian Davies.
    With a Foreword by Professor Antony Flew
    Beckenham, Kent: The Bloomsbury Forum, 1999

    Somewhere between the “hug-a-hoodie” Toryism of David Cameron’s Conservatives, and those far-right parties considered beyond the pale, is believed to lie a broad “respectable” middle ground of British nationalist politics. (more…)

    Perused with Pleasure in 2018
    My Top 5 Books

    1,530 words

    I was using my Spectator-co-uk digital subscription to search for odds and ends in its wonky archive. What, I wondered, did the Speccy have to say about the Angry Young Men in the late 1950s? Better yet, what did they have on Colin Wilson and his friend, the ever-elusive Bill Hopkins?

    Not an awful lot, as it turns out. (more…)

    Ways Without a Precedent

    SculptureParts7,411 words

    Editor’s Note:

    One of the aims of the North American New Right is to promote a revival of the Right-wing artistic and literary subculture that gave us such 20th-century giants as D. H. Lawrence, Gabriele D’Annunzio, F. T. Marinetti, Knut Hamsun, W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, Henry Williamson, Roy Campbell, and H. P. Lovecraft (all profiled in Kerry Bolton’s Artists of the Right).  (more…)

    The Prophet of Exhaustion

    Bill Hopkins

    3. “The corrupt vigour of fascism.”

    In early 1958, Time magazine ran a humorous squib titled “Sloane Square Stomp.”[9] It told how Colin Wilson (and presumably Bill) had attended a premiere of their friend Stuart Holroyd’s new play at the Royal Court Theatre. Bill and Colin’s onetime friend Christopher Logue stood up in the stalls with Kenneth Tynan, denouncing Holroyd and Wilson as fascists. During the interval, this led to a shoving match in a nearby bar. The whole thing was a tempest in a teapot, (more…)

    The Prophet of Exhaustion
    Being Yet Another Remembrance of
    Bill Hopkins (1927–2012), Part 1


    3,016 words

    Part 1 of 2

    Bill Hopkins, photographed by Ida Kar, 1955

    Hopkins, around the time of Declaration and The Divine and the Decay (1957).

    (Told in the discursive spirit, if not quite the style, of Jonathan Bowden.)

    “The evidence of exhaustion stares out from the columns of the daily newspapers. The references to ‘Angry Young Men’ for example, record a general astonishment at the vigour of simply being angry. Another instance is the hero-worship of the late James Dean, who posthumously remains as the embodiment of Youth’s violent rebuttal of a society grown pointless. That the rejection is equally pointless does not appear to matter; the sincerity redeems it.”

    — Bill Hopkins, “Ways Without a Precedent,” in Declaration, 1957  (more…)

    “If you want to call it God, the divine, the energy in all things, the force that created the universe, nature, whatever you call it, I believe it’s fury not love.” — Jonathan Bowden

    Stewart Home:

    11,050 words

    Editor’s Note:

    b-stewart-home-jpgThe following text is a transcript by V.S. of one of Jonathan Bowden’s most entertaining lectures, which was delivered to the 25th New Right meeting in London on February 13, 2010. Although Stewart Home is the principal subject, Bowden romps through a wide field of politically correct theories, ultra-Left sects, and decadent forms of modern art.

    A Leveling Wind:
    Reading Camus’ The Stranger

    camus1,711 words

    Albert Camus’ The Stranger had a powerful effect on me when I first read it at the age of 18. Recently I had cause to pick it up again when I re-read Bill Hopkins’ The Leap! (a.k.a. The Divine and the Decay) with the aim of writing an essay on it. Hopkins’ manner of constructing a plot out of seemingly trivial, tedious, and disconnected events that suddenly come together in an emotionally shattering climax — a climax that seems utterly surprising yet in hindsight utterly inevitable — brought to mind The Stranger.  (more…)
