The history and ideologies of the Far Right in Britain have been well documented, but until now there has been little understanding of the movement's cultural foundations. The book demonstrates that British fascism is essentially not just a political movement, but one that had as its goal the establishment of an all-embracing fascist culture in Britain. The contributions in this volume by a distinguished team of cultural historians cover film, theatre, music, literature, the visual arts and the mass media.
