A leading publicist of Wagnerism, H. S. Chamberlain, after 1900, became the most successful race popularizer in Central Europe. Heralded by the Nazis as a spiritual forerunner, his writings were underpinned by a racial vision that emphasized the dangers of miscegenation and viewed history as a titanic struggle between German or Aryan and Jew. His success illustrates the extent to which racial thinking pervaded the outlook of contemporaries.
