Houston Chamberlain

Houston Stewart Chamberlain was a British-born scientist and philosopher whose political work is considered a major influence on the development of European nationalism. In response to Britain’s declaration of war in 1914, Chamberlain published this series of essays contrasting Germany’s struggle for cultural ascendancy with the ongoing decline of British culture, which he considered a source of the present conflict. His works would later have a marked effect upon German nationalist movements, including National Socialism.
