Despite sustained scholarly interest in the politics of modernism,
astonishingly little attention has been paid to its relationship to
Conservatism. Yet modernist writing was imbricated with Tory
rhetoric and ideology from when it emerged in the Edwardian era. By
investigating the many intersections between Anglophone modernism
and Tory politics, Conservative Modernists offers new ways to read
major figures such as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, T. E. Hulme, and
Ford Madox Ford. It also highlights the contribution to modernism
of lesser-known writers, including Edward Storer, J. M. Kennedy,
and A. M. Ludovici. These are the figures to whom it most
frequently returns, but, cutting through disciplinary delineations,
the book simultaneously reveals the inputs to modernism of a broad
range of political writers, philosophers, art historians, and crowd
psychologists: from Pascal, Burke, and Disraeli, to Nietzsche, Le
Bon, Wallas, Worringer, Ribot, Bergson, and Scheler.
