This text surveys the development of British fascism between 1918 and 1939. Firstly, it provides an accessible guide to the essential features of British fascism in the interwar period. Secondly, it considers a previously under-researched area of British fascism, namely fascism and culture. The book explores the various definitions of fascism, before moving on to analyze the origins of British fascism, the fascist parties and groups, fascism and culture, the membership, and British fascist antisemitism. This book should prove of value to undergraduate students, scholars of generic fascism, and anyone interested in the study of fascist movements and British political and cultural history in this period.
