Notes to chapter one

1. The only published article directly devoted to Levy is Uschi Nussbaumer-Benz, 'Oscar Levys nietzscheanische Visionen', in Judischer Nietzscheanismus, ed. Werner Stegmaier and Daniel Krochmalnik, Monographien und Texte zur Nietzsche-Forschung, Vol. 36, Berlin.New York: Walter de Gruyter, 1997, pp. 188-208, which relies heavily on Albi Rosenthal's unpublished paper, 'Die Nietzsche Rezeption in England bis zum Jahr 1914', delivered at the Nietzsche-Kolloquium, Sils-Maria, 29 September 1994. See also Albi Rosenthal, 'Betrachtungen fiber eine Nietzsche-Sammlung in England', Nietzsche-Studien, 19, 1990, pp. 479-87.

2. As Steven E. Aschheim has noted, 'Inasmuch as the early academic reception of Nietzsche was both hostile and slow, there may have been an initial grain of truth to the observation that Nietzsche tended to attract more marginal and "bohemian" elements! See The Nietzsche Legacy in Germany 1890-1990, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1992, p. 36. This was the case for Britain, as the Nation complained in 'The Will to Power', 2 January 1909, and as Thomas Common noted in his 'Introduction to the Translation' to Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, trans. Helen Zimmern, London: George Allen & Unwin, 4th edn, 1967 [1907], p. xv.

Thomas Common, rev. Oscar Levy and John L. Beevers, London: George Allen & Unwin, 1967 [second impression of 6th edn of 1932], p. 24.

6. Oscar Levy, The Revival of Aristocracy, trans. Leonard A. Magnus, London: Probsthain and Co., 1906, pp. 5-6, 39. Originally published in German under the less revealing title bas neunzehnte Jahrhundert, Dresden: E. Pierson's Verlag, 1904.

7. Levy, The Revival of Aristocracy, p. 52. The phrase 'rudis indigestaque moles' means 'rough, unordered mass', and is used by Ovid in Metamorphoses (1:7) to describe the chaos at the beginning of the world. Its use by Levy to describe people is therefore somewhat inappropriate. My thanks to Ben Tipping for this information.

Foulis, 1907, especially pp. 165-75. See also Florence Farr, 'Superman Consciousness', New Age, 1.6, 6 June 1907, p. 92 for a review of Orage.

9. Levy, Autobiography, pp. 121-22.

10. Ludovici's lectures at the University of London at the end of 1908 and start of 1909 were published as Who is to be Master of the World? An Introduction to the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, London: T. N. Foulis, 1909, with an introduction by Levy. He also published Nietzsche: His Life and Works, London: Constable and Co., 1910, and Nietzsche and Art, London: Constable and Co., 1911, as well as a number of articles in the New Age, T.P.'s Weekly, and elsewhere.

11. Anthony M. Ludovici, Mansel Fellowes, London: Grant Richards, 1918. Melhado is described (p. 11) as having a 'refined Jewish face', and he is later on made to proclaim (p. 220) that 'it must obviously be our duty to promote the best, the strongest and the most beautiful on earth ...'

12. Anthony M. Ludovici, 'Hitler and the Third Reich', English Review, 63.1, July 1936, pp. 35-41; 63.2, August 1936, pp. 147-53; 63.3, September 1936, pp. 231-39. For more on Ludovici see Chapter 2.

19. Levy, 'Introduction' to Gobineau, The Renaissance, pp. xxix, xxx, xxxv. Here Levy differed from the views of the Oxford philosopher and eugenicist F. C. S. Schiller, who believed that 'Nietzsche's preference for an aristocracy is biologically justified, because progress everywhere depends on the few who are capable of creating novelties'. See 'The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche', Quarterly Review, January 1913, p. 159, and Chapter 3 below.

Brian Simpson, In the Highest Degree Odious: Detention ~17ithout Trial in wartime Britain, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1994, pp. 217-18. Pitt-Rivers, 'somewhere between eccentric and dotty', was a cousin of Churchill's, and 'an appalling bore, with academic pretensions, who mixed in far-right circles, held racialist views, and was, understandably, thought to be pro-Nazi' (Simpson, In the Highest Degree Odious, p. 217). In The Czech Conspiracy: A Phase in the World- war Plot, London: The Boswell Publishing Co., 1938, Pitt-Rivers committed himself entirely to conspiracy theory.

65. Oscar Levy, letter to the Jewish Chronicle, 8 July 1938. This was just one letter in a vigorous campaign of writing to newspapers and journals all over the world. For example, to the Commonweal in New York, Levy wrote (15 May 1936): ' ... dynamite, as Nietzsche once called his message, may be excellent for blasting hard rocks and opening new roads, but in the hands of clumsy bunglers it may only too easily lead to disaster. If the Nazi experiment should bring this about, I beg to warn American readers, not to hold Nietzsche responsible, but his self-styled "Aryan" interpreters of the Fatherland: To the Birmingham Post he wrote (6 May 1936): 'If, therefore, disaster should ensue from this utter falsification of a noble message, I beg to ask the thinking world of England not to hold Nietzsche's creed responsible, but its "Aryan" Ministers in the Fatherland.' To The Scotsman he wrote (31 August 1939): 'National-Socialism is really National-Bolshevism, and even Inter-National-Bolshevism. The Nazintern are as dangerous as the Comintern. Karl Marx is the patron saint of both the Bolshie and the Nazi Revolution. Against Karl Marx, however, there is only one antidote: Friedrich Nietzsche.' On the eve of the German invasion of Poland, this was an important message for readers of The Scotsman, which had been something of a platform for the pro-Nazi views of Captain Ramsay; see Richard Griffiths, Patriotism Perverted: Captain Ramsay, the Right Club, and British Anti-Semitism 1939-40, London: Constable, 1998, pp. 90-97.

66. The most important article in which was 'Das Zeitalterder Religionen' (October 1936), in which he argued for the need for a theology of National Socialism. 'Blood', 'Race', 'Soil', and 'Nation' [Volkheit] are the dogmas of Nazism; 'Reich, Volk und Fuhrer' its trinity; and the idea of chosenness its form of predestination.

J. van der Dussen, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999, p. 237: 'Modern Germany thus stands officially committed to the same error which infected ancient Jewish thought, and which Paul exploded - the error of regarding a given community's historical function as bound up with its biological character, i.e. with the common pedigree of its members - and thus persecutes the Jews because it agrees with them. Intellectually, the Jew is the victor in the present-day conflict (if you can call it that) in Germany. He has succeeded in imposing his idea of a chosen people (in the biological sense of the word people) on modern Germany: and this may explain why the victims of this persecution take it so calmly.'

4. Cf. Tony Kushner's point about political antisemitism in Britain: 'Although a sense of proportion is vital in this matter, it is possible to trace the impact that extremist anti-semitism has made in Britain, both as an innovative and as a reinforcing factor in hostility to Jews in the period 1918 to 1945.'

5. See David Bradshaw, 'The Eugenics Movement in the 1930s and the Emergence of On the Boiler, Yeats Annual, 9, 1992, pp. 189~215.

Yeats, On the Boiler, Dublin: The Cuala Press, 1939, for confirmation of this claim.

PART 2 OF 2

Notes to chapter three

1. George Chatterton-Hill, The Philosophy of Nietzsche: An Exposition and an Appreciation, London: John Ouseley, n.d. [1913], pp. 254-55, 259.

2. George Chatterton-Hill, Heredity and Selection in Sociology, London: Adam and Charles Black, 1907, pp. xix-xx, 127, 154, 357, 367, 540. According to Hawkins, it is the extension of scientific determinism into the human social and psychological realm as well as the physical realm which is the distinctive feature of social Darwinism. See Mike Hawkins, Social Darwinism in European and American Thought 1860-1945: Nature as Model and Nature as Threat, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997, p. 31. But see also Gregory Claeys, 'The "Survival of the Fittest" and the Origins of Social Darwinism', Journal of the History of Ideas, 61.2, 2000, p. 238, for the argument that 'what was most distinctive about much (though not all) Social Darwinism was its concern not with "race" as such in the loose sense of a term of general classification but with a new definition of race directly attached to skin colour, in which ideas of racial hierarchy and supremacy were wedded to earlier notions of "fitness" .'

All the time new degeneracy is being originated in and through the healthy persons whom the purely Darwinian-Galtonian idea of selection assumes to be beyond need of any protection.'

Austin Freeman, 'The Sub-Man', Eugenics Review, 15.2, 1923, pp. 383-92 (in which the 'sub-man' is compared with 'the aboriginal negro', pp. 388-89); and 'Segregation of the Fit: A Plea for Positive Eugenics', Eugenics Review, 23.3, 1931, pp. 207-13, in which (p. 212) Freeman softened the racism of his 1921 book, now saying that the prime qualification of 'fitness' was intelligence.

47. H. G. Wells, The Shape of Things to Come: The Ultimate Revolution, London: Everyman, 1993 [1933], pp. 201-02. This book reveals the extent of Wells's obsession with poison gas. His description of the bodies 'bunched together very curiously in heaps, as though their last effort had been to climb on to each other for help. This attempt to get close to someone seems to be characteristic of death by this particular gas' (p. 202) can be read alongside testimonies provided by Richard Glazar, Filip Muller, Zalman Gradowski, and other members of the Treblinka or Auschwitz Sonderkommando. Incidentally, Wells's rebarbative prescience stretched to the Jews, when he wrote that it was 'quite a probable thing now' that the Jews would be 'murdered and exterminated' and went to say that 'It is quite possible that the Jewish story will end in forcible sterilisation and death.'
