Description

Förster-Nietzsche, Elisabeth, sister and estate manager Friedrich Nietzsches, founder of the Nietzsch Archive, led a literary-artistic salon in Weimar (1846-1935). Probably eifh. Letter from the U.S. "Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche". 1 p. Double leaf. Gr. 4to. Naumburg 7.I.1897. Perhaps to an editor who had asked for unpublished writings of the still living philosopher. "... I have not yet made any binding promises regarding the press for my great brother's unpublished writings. I would therefore be inclined to send you some things, but I ask myself to take some time so that I have first gained the complete overview of everything that exists. - But I must immediately notice: something complete is hardly to be found among the not yet published writings, it is probably pretty much everything in the way that something remains fragment is a preface or an afterword, which I am willing to do. Towards the end of the quarter, I will allow myself to send you something from the manuscripts ...". - This year Elisabeth moved with her brother and the archive to Weimar into the "Villa Silberblick". - The long time completely negative picture of Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche's personality and performance has recently been assessed a little more positively. - So early rarely.
