A new book by Michael Nath - Talbot & The Fall: A Comedy with Support. Lewis is mentioned in Chapter 12, p. 100.

Interesting piece (with text in both English and Spanish), exploring the disturbing ways in which Wyndham Lewis's aesthetic metaphor of the vortex - 'the principle that organizes chaos from within' - anticipates the contemporary algorithmic violence of AI.

An interesting article in this month's Modernist Review, shedding new light on the libel action that Alec Waugh brought against Wyndham Lewis in 1932. The occasion was Lewis's publication of The Doom of Youth - a critical riposte to Waugh's debut novel, The Loom of Youth. @modernistudies.bsky.social

29 May 2026 Thomas Montague Bate, University of Texas at Austin One could hardly imagine two more different works than The Loom of Youth (1917) and Doom of Youth (1932). The former, the first novel…

This new PhD thesis on Lewis looks fascinating and remarkably timely.

Dr Luke Gilfedder@lukegilfedder.bsky.social · last yr.

Glad to have successfully defended my PhD thesis on Wyndham Lewis, Modernism and the New Right. Looking forward to sharing work from it soon. #WyndhamLewis #modernism

Others have noted that Saied Dai's 'individual and yet archetypal' portrait of Theresa May from 2023 seems indebted to Wyndham Lewis's later style. But the GMB were already mining this strange affinity in 2017, with a 'Maybot' protest seemingly inspired by Lewis's cubist Self Portrait of 1911.

The next meeting of the Wyndham Lewis Reading Group is this Saturday, 22nd March, at 11am UK time. We'll be discussing 'Inferior Religions' (full text available here: gutenberg.ca/ebooks/lewis...). If you'd like to attend, just email wyndhamlewissociety@gmail.com and we'll send you the Zoom link.

Just listened to this while doing the ironing 😎 Highly recommended to anyone interested in a more nuanced approach to Wyndham Lewis's politics and public image.
