▼Changes from the Old Geocities Website.

The old "Text-German" and "Text-English" have been combined into single pages as "Published Works," "Unpublished Works," "Lectures," "Notebooks," and "Correspondence." The German half of the site is being worked on first, while the English half will appear after that's finished, although there are a few files now available in English.

The "Published Works" page contains files for every edition. E.g., the new site has the first edition of The Birth of Tragedy (which was changed in the subsequent editions), with some explanatory footnotes. So you get to read editions in the form in which they were first published, all in searchable html. The new site also includes Marie Baumgartner's French translation of Richard Wagner in Bayreuth. In addition, each published work (Example 1, Example 2) has an "introductory page" consisting of image/artwork plus a relevant selection from his correspondence relating to the work, or a commentary with background material. All of the published philological articles are also available for the first time in proofread html.

The "Unpublished Works" page contains files from Nietzsche's School Years and Nietzsche's Basel Years. These are all available in German. The English translations are being published in both the ebook series, Friedrich Nietzsche in Words and Pictures, and the ebook Nietzsche's Writings as a Student.

The "Lectures" page lists Nietzsche's Lectures at Basel University, Nietzsche's Courses at the Basel Paedagogium, and Nietzsche's Public Lectures in the Great Hall of the Museum of Basel University with introductory pages as delineated above for the available texts and translations.

The "Correspondence" page is unchanged, although English translations have yet to appear in a limited form. A great deal of translations of his correspondence are being published in the ebook series.

The "Notebooks" page is finished. The notes are different in that the text has links for all of the allusions to, and direct quotes from, the books he read. Some of these links are also available in the German text of the published works. All this has been done in conjunction with "Nietzsche's Library," which brings us to summarizing this revamped material.

"Nietzsche's Library" is very illuminating insofar as it really shows how much he confronted his contemporaries, and should be of interest, if not indispensable, to anyone writing on or researching Nietzsche. The library also has translations of the reviews of his works, some of which, as we know regarding BGE, left the reviewer either flummoxed (Conrad Hermann in Blätter für literarische Unterhaltung) or quite derisive (George von Gizycki in Deutsche Rundschau)—both motivating factors behind Nietzsche's decision to write GM. As of July 2012, the library has links to around 1300 books, while there are still around 575 books unavailable, since they have yet to be scanned by anyone.

It's a lot of work revising over ten years of files, so if you want to help keep the site alive, make a donation or purchase the ebooks.
