Houston Stewart Chamberlain - Zur Textlichen Konstruktion Einer Weltanschauung

In discussions of National Socialism one question occurs with particular frequency ? How was it possible in the country of poets and thinkers for people educated in the humanities to follow a 'œhouse painter'� like Hitler?This book aims to show that it was just these educated middle classes, whose own identity was formed by a cultural chauvinism (with the centres of identification of 'œartistry'� and 'œcreativeness'�), who had been prepared for an ideology along the lines of National Socialism long before Hitler. One of the most important pioneers of this mind-set was Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
