Four critical essays by an American professor of German on writers who challenged the moral and artistic conventions of their age: the mysticism of Maeterlinck, the eccentricity of Strindberg, the exaltation of Nietzsche and the revivalism of Tolstoy. Writing in 1918, Heller also rejects the wartime charge that Nietzsche was the prophet of German militarism.
