The characters in War and Peace are aristocrats but I think they’re probably a bit idealized. The poems of John Rochester, Earl of Wilmot provide an unvarnished look at extreme aristocratic decadence, he’s also just a good poet. Lord Hervey’s memoirs, the writings of Horace Walpole, and the Earl of Chesterfield’s Letters to his Son, or Saint-Simon’s memoirs in French, all give further insight into the old-regime aristocracy, along with countless other lesser works, biographies, “secret histories”, etc., Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding in their opposing ways both dealt with the vices and the proper roles of the petty aristocracy, Laclos’ Liaisons is probably a typical aristocratic plot, Defoe’s Roxana touches on a lot of the same issues, and for a slightly earlier time period, part 2 of Quixote is all driven by aristocratic antics, de Sade himself was an aristocrat and could probably be read as critiquing the aristocracy. Obviously there’s lots of tragedies such as Shakespeare’s which also give more idealized versions of the earlier aristocracy, and the characters of Classical epic and tragedy were aristocratic, medieval romances/chansons are fairly exclusively about aristocratic characters, lots of Renaissance poetry was written by or about aristocrats and based on the idea of “courtly love”, and so on.

Before the French Revolution it’s probably harder to find stories that aren’t about aristocrats in some capacity. If you want something more modern though, I’m not sure, maybe Proust has an atmosphere of aristocratic decadence, Baudelaire personally idealized aristocracy though I’m not sure how exactly that relates to his work. I don’t know anything about Evola outside of what I’ve seen on this board but it seems like the concept was a big deal for him as well, maybe stuff by Carlyle would also fall into that niche. Sword of Honor by Evelyn Waugh also has some of that sort of nostalgia but it doesn’t deal directly with aristocracy much, it’s more about condemning the order that replaced it.

She lined her pantyliner with cocaine to reduce the pain of having been cheated by her friend. She went to class with sunglasses on, a mask, and was even considering an eye patch. Sin turned into a tingle, then a sting, in short order she felt nothing but the dissipation of her blame. There was no longer anyone to name. And as she sat, at the back, on the heel of her unclad foot, she couldn't help think of her dad and her favorite socks which she had bought at the mall when she was only so tall. And she began rock to and fro to the rhythm of his memory and the wetness of her tears soon seeped into her collar, and the tears of her wetness out of her silken underlayment and into the hardness of her bony and denuded foot. She wondered: would it leave a stain--the pain, that if by magic had answered the prayers of rain? This creature of no race and of no place that had cleft its way into the entrance of her embrace through the lips of her desires and the walls of her escape and the flesh of her disgrace?

If you're a materialist (almost everyone is these days (thanks a lot Marx you idiot)), it's the only possible reason to hate aristocrats: you're jealous/envious that they have more material wealth than you.

A virtuist from antiquity wouldn't hate "aristocrats" simply for being aristocrats, he'd hate them as individuals for wallowing in vice or something similar.

A spiritualist similarly wouldn't hate on the basis of their class, rather they'd hate them as individuals for sinning or something similar.

When you have a class of people defined solely by material wealth, the only reason to hate those people as a class is because of their distinguishing characteristic. To make judgments based entirely on material wealth makes you a materialist, and you can see how that means you must be jealous/envious.

Unless you can think of another reason to hate someone simply for their material wealth?

No, it’s false. Being a materialist is a philosophical term, and nothing to do with being materialistic. All the holy shits of the past had divine right to be as materialistic as they wanted, see? Two different usages. Sorry, that’s the way philosophy is.
The usual socialist does NOT want to switch places with those people. So again it’s FALSE. The idiot bootlicker falls back on this weak defense because THEY would love to be king. They would switch places.
