The Nietzsche Canon

In The Nietzsche Canon, William H. Schaberg presents a detailed publication history and biography of Nietzsche as author and an equally comprehensive annotated bibliography of his work. Schaberg describes how and why Nietzsche's books were written, when and by whom they were published, and how many copies were printed and sold, in a story set against the background of publishing practice in nineteenth-century Germany. He also establishes a genealogy of Nietzsche's works and clarifies the relationships between those works, an understanding of which is essential to any informed opinion of his philosophy. Included for the first time in any language is an extensive account of Nietzsche's finances and his relationships with his publishers.

First sentence: To appreciate the publication history of a nineteenth-century German author requires some understanding of the printing and publishing conventions of that time.
