1915pp. 59, (4)[Publisher's advertisement]. Text in German Fraktur. 8vo. 205 mm. Original printed wraps, slightly chipped. Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927) was a British-born author of books on political philosophy, natural science, and his posthumous father-in-law Richard Wagner. His two-volume book Die Grundlagen des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts (The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century) (1899) became one of the many references for the pan-Germanic movement of the early 20th century, and, later, of Nazi racial philosophy. Chamberlain had attended Wagner's Bayreuth Festival in 1882 and struck up a close correspondence with his wife Cosima. In 1908 he married Eva Wagner, the composer's daughter, and the next year he moved to Germany and became an important member of the "Bayreuth Circle" of German nationalist intellectuals. By the time World War I broke out in 1914, Chamberlain remained an Englishman only by virtue of his name and nationality. In 1916 he also acquired German citizenship. He had already begun propagandizing on behalf of the German government and continued to do so throughout the war. His vociferous denunciations of his land of birth, were the culmination of his rejection of his native England's stifling capitalism, in favor of a rustic and ultimately naive German Romanticism - Wiki.
