Publication Date: July 25, 2011Frank Kermode famously commented that the "correlation between early modernist literature and authoritarian politics" was "more often noticed than explained." Dreams of a Totalitarian Utopia examines in detail the political writings of three of modernism's best known and most criticized fascist sympathisers: T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Wyndam Lewis.

|  | The Crime Novel: A Deviant Genre
Publication Date: October 1, 1990Although rarely distinguished from the detective story, the crime novel offers readers a quite different experience.

In the crime novel, by contrast, the "hero" is either the killer, the victim, a guilty bystander, or someone falsely accused, and the crime may never be satisfactorily solved. These and other fundamental differences are set out by Tony Hilfer in The Crime Novel, the first boo...
