"Waite provides a critical history of Nietzsche reception as well as an original argument about Nietzssche's style and purpose." --Modern Language Review, 94.1, 1999 "As Nietzscheans are virtually all trying to celebrate Nietzsche for whatever their particular cause may be, Waite exposes both Nietzsche and these causes to be questionable and wrongheaded. Attacking both the source and the consequences of the ideas that move through the writings of this difficult philosopher, he has worked through the masses of material - published and unpublished - with a thoroughness and precision that would put virtually everyone in the field to shame. This is an important achievement." Cyrus Hamlin, Yale University "New, original, and stimulating Nietzsche's Corps/e was born with these words emblazoned on its wrapper. Waite's scholarship is dazzlingly superior. His study exemplifies intellectual and political passion, scholarly range, and an altogether justified audacity." Stanley Corngold, Princeton University
