Lively and readable, the texts collected in these wide-ranging volumes use his archivally rich literary criticism to read modernist literature and contemporary culture alike. Feldman, unafraid to challenge lazy orthodoxies or to read even the most objectionable sources with the careful attention of a scholar, helps us to see the last century of writing and thought with a new sharpness.
— Dr Alys Moody, Associate Professor of Literature, Bard College, USA

An urgent voice for our times, Feldman writes with a warm intelligence and indefatigable human spirt. This landmark collection is a work of tremendous intellectual power: it is also a necessary call to action.
— Jeannette Baxter, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Literature, Anglia Ruskin University, UK

These writings would benefit not only the contemporary student and scholar. . . but also the cultivated and curious readers with a wish of understanding the threat on democracy and justice coming from the contemporary far right in all its hues.
— Dr Erika Mihálycsa, Lecturer in Language and Literature, Babeş-Bolyai University, Romania

Matthew Feldman has dedicated his career to analyzing and evaluating the radical right as a means by which to understand the resurgence of violent ideology across the world. . . Readers of these volumes will find their good fortune in having such a constant guide across some very troubling and contested terrain.
— Professor Mark Byron, University of Sydney, Australia

Matthew Feldman is one of the leading experts in far-right movements, both of today and in modern history. It is exciting to see that, in these two volumes, his short-form writings have been presented together for the first time. Feldman is one of the principal thinkers of our day.
— Dr Helen Paynter, Director, Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence, UK
