Charles Maurras & Action Franҫaise

Jonathan Bowden

Charles Maurras

7,556 words

The following text is the transcript by V. S. of Jonathan Bowden’s last lecture, delivered at The London Forum on March 24, 2012.

S. for transcribing a largely unlistenable audio track, and Michèle Renouf and Jez Turner for making the recording available.

A talk by Adrian Davies to the Traditional Britain Group on October 18th, 2014

T. S. Eliot, Part 1

Kerry Bolton

Wyndham Lewis, Portrait of T. S. Eliot, 1938

5,352 words

Part 1 of 2

World War I brought to a climax a cultural crisis in Western Civilization that had been proceeding for centuries, when, in the Spenglerian sense, Money overwhelmed Tradition,[1] or, to resort even to Karl Marx, the bourgeoisie supplanted the aristocracy.[2] Industrialization accentuated the process of commercialization, with its concomitant urbanization and the disruption of organic bonds and social cohesion, which has thrown societies into a state of perpetual flux, with culture reflecting that condition.
