TWO MORE "NEW" BOWDEN SPEECHES UPLOADED

The Youtube user Gaelic Neoreactionary is spoiling us at the moment by uploading the Jonathan Bowden speeches only previously seen on DVD. The first of his two new uploads is Bowden's speech on the guru of Italian fascism, Gabriele D'Annunzio. Bowden explores the link between D'Annunzio's artistic and political careers, and how his romanticist and traditionalist literature that brought together many strands of thought and styles shaped his politics. Equally, his aristocratic background is important, particularly in relation to modernity, as D'Annunzio joined the Italian Air Force during the First World War, the pilot becoming the modernist knight of the air. Equally, this blend of modernism and traditionalist elitism would shape his fascist ideology.
