With this book, Alan Wald launches a bold and passionate account of the U.S. Literary Left from the 1920s through the 1960s. Exiles from a Future Time, the first volume of a trilogy, focuses on the forging of a Communist-led literary tradition in the 1930s. Exploring writers' intimate lives and heartfelt political commitments, Wald draws on original research in scores of archives and personal collections of papers; correspondence and interviews with hundreds of writers and their friends and families; and a treasure trove of unpublished memoirs, fiction, and poetry.

American Night, the final volume of an unprecedented trilogy, brings Alan Wald's multigenerational history of Communist writers to a poignant climax. Using new research to explore the intimate lives of novelists, poets, and critics during the Cold War, Wald reveals a radical community longing for the rebirth of the social vision of the 1930s and struggling with a loss of moral certainty as the Communist worldview was being called into question. The resulting literature, Wald shows, is a haunting record of fracture and struggle linked by common structures of feeling, ones more suggestive

Bryan M. Santin examines over a half-century of intersection between American fiction and postwar conservatism. He traces the shifting racial politics of movement conservatism to argue that contemporary perceptions of literary form and aesthetic value are intrinsically connected to the rise of the American Right. Instead of casting postwar conservatives as cynical hustlers or ideological fanatics, Santin shows how the long-term rhetorical shift in conservative notions of literary value and prestige reveal an aesthetic antinomy between high culture and low culture. This shift, he argues, registered and mediated the deeper foundational antinomy structuring postwar conservatism itself: the stable social order of traditionalism and the creative destruction of free-market capitalism. Postwar conservatives produced, in effect, an ambivalent double register in the discourse of conservative literary taste that sought to celebrate neo-aristocratic manifestations of cultural capital while condemning newer, more progressive manifestations revolving around racial and ethnic diversity.

"Ils sont trois visages et trois têtes de gondole de la littérature française : Michel Houellebecq, Sylvain Tesson, ou encore Yann Moix. Des parcours différents, mais un point commun, ignoré de leurs lecteurs. Dans l'ombre, tous ont été, ou sont restés des "compagnons de route" de l'extrême droite. Cette enquête sur l'itinéraire de ces trois "stars", révèle comment s'est constitué une coterie littéraire très réactionnaire où se côtoient, depuis les années 1990, de petits et de grands écrivains, des éditeurs, des journalistes, des animateurs TV et des idéologues peu fréquentables. C'est l'histoire d'une génération qui, par goût de la provocation, mépris de son époque ou pure conviction, a franchi la ligne rouge — ou plutôt, brune. Sait-on que Michel Houellebecq n'a jamais cessé de prendre sous son aile des royalistes de l'Action française puis des blogueurs stars de la " fachosphère " jusqu'aux dirigeants de "Valeurs actuelles" ? Sait-on que Sylvain Tesson, l'écrivain-voyageur, a fait ses débuts sur Radio Courtoisie, la station d'extrême droite ? Que son premier voyage, un tour du monde à vélo, se fit sous l'égide d'une association d'anciens de l'Algérie française et du FN ? Qu'il entretient des liens étroits avec la Nouvelle Droite ? Sait-on que les liens de Yann Moix avec des antisémites et même des négationnistes ont été plus étroits qu'il ne veut le dire ? Que ses douteux amis ont joué un rôle dans ses plus grands succès ? Une enquête implacable sur les dessous d'une histoire méconnue."

"Britain's domestic intelligence agencies maintained secret records on many left-wing writers after the First World War. Drawing on recently declassified material from 1930 to 1960, this revealing study examines how leading figures in Britain's literary scene fell under MI5 and Special Branch surveillance, and the surprising extent to which writers became willing participants in the world of covert intelligence and propaganda. Chapters devoted to W. H. Auden and his associates, theatre pioneers Ewan MacColl and Joan Littlewood, George Orwell, and others describe methods used by MI5 to gather information through and about the cultural world. The book also investigates how these covert agencies assessed the political influence of such writers, providing scholars and students of twentieth-century British literature an unprecedented account of clandestine operations in popular culture"--

Highlighting the works of William Bennett, Lynne Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, and others on the American political right, Michelle Ann Abate brings together such diverse fields as cultural studies, literary criticism, political science, childhood studies, brand marketing, and the cult of celebrity. Raising Your Kids Right dispels lingering societal attitudes that narratives for young readers are unworthy of serious political study by examining a variety of texts that offer information, ideology, and even instructions on how to raise kids right, not just figuratively but politically.
