About Maurice Bardèche
- Maurice Bardèche (1 October 1907 – 30 July 1998) was a French art critic and journalist, and one of the leading exponents of neo-fascism in post–World War II Europe.
- Bardèche was also the brother-in-law of the collaborationist novelist, poet and journalist Robert Brasillach, executed after the liberation of France in 1945. His main work include History of the Film (1935), an art critic of cinema co-written with Brasillach, literary studies on French writer Honoré de Balzac; and various political works advocating fascism and "revisionism", in the footsteps of his brother-in-law's "poetic fascism", and inspired by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle and Antonio Primo de Rivera.
- Viewed as "the father-figure of Holocaust denial", Bardèche introduced in his works many aspects of neo-fascist and negationist propaganda techniques and ideological structures, and his work is deemed influential in regenerating post-war European far-right ideas at a time of identity crisis in the 1950–1960s.
- He was however more of a political writer than a doctrinarian, "dreaming of fascism" and its aesthetics rather than trying to establish a global political theory.
