British Union (of Fascists and National Socialists) Journals, 1933 - 1940
Scope and Contents
Copies of the Fascist Quarterly and the British Union Quarterly formerly belonged to Robert Saunders, BUF District Leader, Dorset West. Some of the parts bear his signature, some are stamped with his address ‘Friar Mayne Farm, Broadmayne, Dorchester’. The volumes are in their original state, some bound in stiff board covers. The Quarterly was intended to produce an intellectual journal to counter the influential Left Book Club. It includes papers by such well known writers as Roy Campbell, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Beverley Nicholls, as well as Fascist die-hards like Alexander Raven Thompson, Professor Laurie, President Salazar of Portugal and Vidkun Quisling of Norway. It came to an end following the outbreak of WWII and the subsequent internment of BU members and sympathisers.
