Maurice Bardèche (1 October 1907 – 30 July 1998) was a French essayist, literary and art critic, journalist, and one of the leading exponents of neo-fascism in post–World War II Europe.〔"French with tears", Obituary: Maurice Bardeche in ''The Guardian'', 6 August 1998〕 Bardèche also became a leading Holocaust denier and wrote extensively on the subject in his later life. Bardèche was also the brother-in-law of the collaborationist Robert Brasillach, executed after the liberation.〔"C'est la guerre?" in ''The Australian'', 9 August 2000.〕 ==Academic career== Bardèche was born in a modest family of Dun-sur-Auron in the Cher department on 1 October 1907. A product of the educational opportunities of the Third Republic, Bardèche had received a scholarship, and completed ''hypokhâgne'' at the prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris.〔 There, he met Thierry Maulnier and his future brother-in-law Robert Brasillach, establishing lifelong connections. In 1928, he entered the ''École normale supérieure'' (ENS), where he met with the philosopher Simone Weil (whom he nicknamed the "Red Virgin", after Louise Michel), Claude Jamet, Jacques Soustelle, Roger Vailland and Georges Pompidou, future President of France. He was received at the ''Agrégation'' (literary section) in 1932, and started teaching at the Sorbonne University. A year later, he described himself as "a snail withdrawn into its shell".〔 He was heavily influenced by the nationalist intellectual Maurice Barrès and the leader of the monarchist ''Action française'' (AF), Charles Maurras.〔"Action man; Known to thousands as 'Le Maitre', Charles Maurras was an intellectual giant of the French canon". Carmen Callil, ''New Statesman'', 9 April 2001.〕 Bardèche initially came to prominence as an associate of Brasillach and Maulnier, writing in their journals (''1933'', ''1934'', ''1935''), essentially as a literary chroniquer. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), he traveled several times to the country and wrote with Brasillach a ''History of the Spanish War'', in which he called for the violent defense of "order" and of Francoism in front of "paralysing democracy, one like malaria". Seduced by José Antonio Primo de Rivera's Falange, his support of Fascism may be dated to this period. Bardèche also co-authored with Brasillach a ''History of Cinema'' (1935), a work that influenced cinema history for years.〔"Killed for His Words; A bold new study exhumes the case of fascist writer Robert Brasillach, executed by the French in 1945", ''Time'', 15 May 2000.; David Bordwell, ''On the history of film style'', Harvard University Press, 1997, pp. 40, 42〕 Bardèche completed his thesis on Balzac in 1940, titled ''La formation de l’art du roman chez Balzac jusqu’à la publication du Père Goriot'', from which he would publish a biography, ''Balzac romancier''. He continued to teach at the Sorbonne, moving to the Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille from 1942-4. He then became recognized for his critical works. Bardèche began to write for the fascist journal ''Je suis partout'' in 1938. During the German occupation, he didn't take a position.〔''Le Figaro'', 31 July 1998. 〕 After the execution of Brasillach, he claimed that the Resistance's "excesses", the bombing of Dresden and post-liberation atrocities were war crimes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurice Bardèche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
