Literature Literature is literally an acquaintance with letters. The term has, however, generally come to identify a collection of texts. The word literature, as a common noun, can refer to any form of writing, such as essays; while Literature, the proper noun, refers to a whole body of literary work.

Interesting title, what does it feature? And most importantly, what is defined as "New Right" in the book?

Its really about GRECE and Alain de Benoist, who does not really like the term 'New Right' (Nouvelles Droits) which was affixed by the press n the late 70's. Its primarily a philosophical movement, a think-tank, which has elaborated a comprehensive critique of liberalism from a post-Heideggerian, communitarian perspective.

This is a good introduction to their project: \'The French New Right In The Year 2000\' Alain de Benoist and Charles Champetier

The last book I read was called "The Court Martial of Enrico Mizzi 1917". Bought it on Tuesday afternoon and read it during that same night, took me around 5 hours. I provide two extracts from the book relating to Enrico Mizzi's death (1950):

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.

The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature

Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.

Elst, I've been itching to get a hold of that ,ever since reading Martin Thébaud review of O’Mearas book. The cerebral critiques appear extensive and quite useful , how are you finding it so far?
