My translation of Dominique Venner’s short editorial, “Evola:
Philosophie et action directe,” Nouvelle Revue
d’Histoire 37 (2008). By 2008,
Venner was known as an historian; but signs of a sympathy born of youthful
activism (in French analogues of the Italian movements he describes) remain. The
text is still a good introductory overview.
But the following texts go into greater depth:
Mark Sedgwick, Against
the Modern World (Oxford: O.U.P., 2004), prologue, pp. 11–2; parts II.5,
III.9 and IV.11.
Franco Ferraresi, “Les références théorico-doctrinales
de la droite radicale en Italie,” Mots
12 (March 1986), pp. 7–27.
—, “Julius Evola: Tradition, Reaction and the Radical
Right,” European Journal of Sociology
28, 1 (1987), pp. 107–51.
