|
By Jonathan Keeperman
| The Spectator (World) Verified
This has been adapted from a speech titled “The Myth-Maker as Nation-Builder,” which was delivered by Jonathan Keeperman, who runs publishing house Passage Press, at the National Conservatism Conference 2025. As W.B. Yeats once said: “There is no great literature without nationality. There is no great nationality without literature.” People often ask me whether it is possible to produce right-wing art, or otherwise to use art to engineer a more nationalist politics.

|
By Jonathan Keeperman
A few weeks ago on Twitter/X there was another semi-regular flare-up where people try to define what a neocon is.

| The American Mind Verified
Every so often the question of culture on the Right comes center stage. There is a round of takes and pleas for more money and high-minded disputations about the nature of aesthetics and so on and so forth before the topic recedes into the background while more pressing political questions get their turn.
