Hilaire Belloc

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (July 27, 1870 - July 16, 1953) was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. His style and personality led to the nickname, "Old Thunder".

Belloc and authoritarian politics

He wrote in favour of a particular brand of authoritarian politics, particularly in the early 1920s. In this he drew on his disillusionment with parliamentary politics, a theme found also in his earlier fiction. He was, on the other hand, a vociferous critic of Hitler when he came to power.
