In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Nietzsche exerted a widespread influen e on creative artists. The internationally acclaimed playwright August Strindberg and Luigi Pirandello came noticeably under that influence. Bernard Shaw called one of his best plays ‘Kan and Superman’ (1905), and said of himself later: “My reputation has been gained by my persistent struggle to force the public to reconsider its morals.” He observed appreciatively that the whole of Nietzsche was expressed in three lines that Shakespeare puts into mouth of Richard III :
“Conscience is but a word that cowards use Devised at first to keep the strong in awe. Our strong arms be out conscience, swords our law!”
The leading poet of English of the period, W. B. Yeats, shifted direction in his own poetic development in response to his reading of Nietzsche. Among German poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Stefan George were influenced by Nietzsche, as were Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse among novelists. As for French writers, the names range from Andre Gide and Andre Malraux to Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. In the light of all this it can confidently be claimed for Nietzsche that he had more influence on European writers of the front rank than any other philosophers after Karl Marx -- if indeed Marx can be satisfactorily thought of as a philosopher. ~ Page 178
