🇬🇧 Race, Blood, and Soil: Viscount Lymington and Britain’s Homegrown Agrarian Fascism

"Lymington’s vision of national rebirth was agrarian in form but racial in substance; he imagined an England made strong and whole again by returning to its “native” soil, purging foreign and urban corruptions, and reasserting the dominance of its Anglo-Saxon stock."

Aspinall, K. (2026) ‘Race, Blood, and Soil: Viscount Lymington and Britain’s Homegrown Agrarian Fascism’, Journal of British Studies, 65, p. e33. doi: https://doi.org/10.1017/jbr.2026.10205.
