Texts on Nietzsche's Politics

Some texts I have enjoyed, found useful, or been authoritatively recommended. Indefinitely under construction. Inevitably uncomprehensive. I will be augmenting this list for the foreseeable future as I read further into this interesting topic, and would be pleased to hear any suggestions. Where possible, I link straight to the text; where not, to the publisher.

Books

Benoist, Alain de, Nietzsche: Morale et “Grande Politique” (Paris: GRECE, 1973). —

Brandes, Georg, Friedrich Nietzsche (London: Heinemann, 1914). — Brandes was Nietzsche’s contemporary, and among the first, or perhaps the very first, to lecture on Nietzsche in an academic setting. His formula for Nietzsche’s politics, “aristocratic radicalism,” was endorsed by Nietzsche himself. Includes some correspondence between author and subject.
