It is a perennial embarrassment to the Left that some of the greatest creative minds of the 19th and 20th centuries were men of the Right, and not just conservatives, but men of the far Right, such as fascists and National Socialists—or their precursors and fellow travelers.
K. R. Bolton’s More Artists of the Right offers political profiles of seven immensely accomplished artists and critics who made significant contributions to Right-wing political thought: Richard Wagner, Aleister Crowley, T. S. Eliot, P. R. Stephensen, A. R. D. Fairburn, Count Potocki, and Yukio Mishima.
