An important figure in the development of Nietzsche scholarship,
Mazzino Montinari (1928-86) dedicated himself to the detailed study
of the philosopher's writings. This lifetime of scholarship
crystallized in Montinari's work as coeditor of the critical
edition of Nietzsche's collected writings. Reading Nietzsche, now
available in English for the first time, is a group of essays that
grew out of this monumental work. In Reading Nietzsche Montinari
tackles such subjects as the relationship between Nietzsche and
Wagner, early drafts of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and the
philosopher's reputation among the Nazis and Marxists of the 1930s
and 1940s. He also deals authoritatively with a number of figures
who have had an unfortunate influence upon the way Nietzsche has
been understood, from the chief Nazi interpreter of Nietzsche,
Alfred Baumler, to the chief Marxist interpreter, Georg Lukacs, to
Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth.
