The Dionysian – an impetus towards abandon, intoxication and creativity, but also chaos and death – captured the imagination of both Gabriele D’Annunzio and Thomas Mann. Both admired Friedrich Nietzsche and engaged with his iconic yet enigmatic idea of the ‘Dionysian’ in their depictions of writers and artists, as explored in this book.
