"Louise Mabille's fascinating book examines Nietzsche from the novel perspective of his professed dislike of the English. Her lively discussions of his 'English' protagonists succeed in clarifying the meaning of Englishness, while also exposing some of the ways in which Nietzsche himself was 'English.' This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in Nietzsche and contemporary Nietzscheanism." (Paul Patton, University of New South Wales, Australia)"
