One piece of writing seems to be attributed to Wilson Eliot Poindexter: A review of Mark Sedgwick's much scrutinized book Against the Modern World. The review was originally published in the tradtionalist journal Sophia in Volume 11, No.1 (Summer, 2005). Although biographical details do not exist for "Wilson," it can be safely assumed from the precision and knowledge of the subject at hand that he or she is a scholar with extensive experience with many of the fields crucial to the legitimacy of Sedgwick's book as a scholarly and thus objective study.

| Book Review |
Against the Modern World, written by Mark Sedgwick in 2004, has received much criticism for its lax scholarship. This review adds more detail to the criticism, revealing the extent of Sedgwick's shoddy scholarship, misrepresentations and distortions (intended or unintended), self-contradictions, and lack of clarity in use of terminology. The reviewer concludes that, in short, Sedwick is "unable to comprehend the core elements of his study," which inevitably would result in such a work, which purports to be much more. The review includes some important corrections and clarifications, which would have been of assistance to the work had the author himself been aware of them.
