Drawing on a range of archival materials, this book explores the writing career of the poet, philosopher, art critic, and political commentator T.E. Hulme, a key figure in British modernism.
T.E. Hulme and the Ideological Politics of Early Modernism reveals for the first time the full extent of Hulme »s relationship with
New Age, a leading radical journal before the Great War, focussing particularly on his exchange of ideas with its editor, A.R. Orage.
Through a ground-breaking account of Hulme »s reading in continental literature, and his combative exchanges amongst the bohemian networks of Edwardian London, Mead shows how »the strange death of Liberal England » coincided with Hulme »s emergence as what T.S. Eliot called »the forerunner of… the twentieth century mind ». Tracing his debts to French Symbolism, evolutionary psychology, Neo-Royalism, and philosophical pragmatism, the book shows how Hulme combined anarchist and conservative impulses in his journey towards a »religious attitude ». The result is a nuanced account of Hulme »s ideological politics, complicating the received view of his work as proto-fascist.
