    Abstract

    This chapter explores the nature and ideology of British fascism during the 1920s and, in particular, considers the extent to which the first fascists in this country borrowed from, or were inspired by, the Italian Fascist model, and the degree to which they also tried to come up with a very 'British' and home-grown version of the creed. It considers two fascist organisations, and offers new findings on the fascist context in Britain during the 1920s, a decade which has received less attention by historians compared to the 1930s.
