Griffiths[edit]

Griffiths, Richard (2004) "Another Form of Fascism: The Cultural Impact of the French ‘Radical Right’ in Britain" in Gottlieb, Julie V. (ed.) Culture of Fascism: Visions of the Far Right in Britain I. B. Tauris & Co., London, pp. 174-175, says:

The same can not be said of an article in the second number of the same journal, by Ambrose Bebb (1894 –1955),⁴¹ who was to become one of the founder-members of the Welsh Nationalist Party. Bebb, a graduate in Welsh and history from Aberystwyth, was at this time in Paris, teaching Welsh and lecturing on Welsh literature at the Sorbonne. There he had come under the strong influence of Maurras and Action Française, and also ‘fell in love with the doctrine, liturgy and architecture of the Catholic Church, and came to regard it as one of the main pillars of civilisation.’ ⁴² Bebb’s article in the 1923 Y Llenor shows just how infatuated he was with Maurras. He referred to him as ‘one of the wise men of Greece who has risen again in our day’,⁴³ and, in a play of words upon the ‘immortals’ of the Académie Française, pronounced that: ‘If it can be said of anybody that he is immortal, it can be said of him … Charles Maurras will not die.’ ⁴⁴ Maurras, he said, had given a new direction to the thinking of the age: ‘He defends order, tradition and inheritance, authority and intelligence’.⁴⁵ He would, said Bebb, be quoted and referred to in every major discussion that humanity would have in the future.

Bebb had been working closely with the Breton Nationalists, and calling, in their journal Breiz Atao, for a similar movement in Wales. In 1924 Bebb, on a visit to Wales, met Saunders Lewis and co-founded with him and Griffith John Williams the group ‘Y Mudiad Cymreig’ (the Welsh Movement), which a year later was to grow into ‘Plaid Genedlaethol Cymru’ (the Welsh Nationalist Party), of which Saunders Lewis was to be president until 1939.
