Nietzsche and the End of Freedom: Neo-Romantic Dilemma in Kafka, the Brothers Mann, Rilke and Musil, 1904-1914

Nietzsche and the End of Freedom: Neo-Romantic Dilemma in Kafka, the Brothers Mann, Rilke and Musil, 1904-1914 Nietzsche's writing is not some game of 'freeplay' and terms like 'intertextuality' are useless in discussing its influence. This study takes Nietzsche, then Kafka's Trial , Thomas Mann's Death in Venice , Heinrich Mann's Man of Straw , Rilke's Malte Laurids Brigge and Musil's Törless . It argues that Nietzsche mediates and modernises the dilemmas of Romanticism and that a properly differentiated account of his literary reception can illuminate the dynamics of German culture on the eve of the Great War.
