Before the First World War there existed an intellectual turmoil in
Britain as great as any in Germany, France or Russia, as the
debates over Nietzsche and eugenics in the context of early
modernism reveal. With the rise of fascism after 1918, these
debates became more ideologically driven, with science and vitalist
philosophy being hailed in some quarters as saviours from bourgeois
decadence, vituperated in others as heralding the onset of
barbarism. Breeding Superman looks at several of the leading
Nietzscheans and eugenicists, and challenges the long-cherished
belief that British intellectuals were fundamentally uninterested
in race. The result is a study of radical ideas which are
conventionally written out of histories of the politics and culture
of the period.
