The article aims to show the central importance of Friedrich Nietzsche to notions of genius in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. On the one hand, it considers the influence of idealised representations of Nietzsche (for example, in Thomas Mann and Gottfried Benn) as a genius marked by loneliness, illness, and finally madness. On the other hand, it seeks to trace the significance of ‘genius’ within Nietzsche's oeuvre . It transpires that genius as a concept is not only instrumental in the ‘self‐characterisations’ of Nietzsche's late works, but runs through his entire oeuvre , from early texts written around 1870 to the final period of 1888/9
