  Offers an analysis of the literary-aesthetic dimension of French fascism - the peculiarly French form of what Walter Benjamin called the fascist 'aestheticizing of politics'. This book shows how both traditional and modern concepts of art figure in the elaboration of fascist ideology - and in the presentation of fascism as an art of the political.
