Dominique Venner, “Julius Evola: Philosophy and Direct Action” (2008)


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.
