Hello,

If you are still interested, R.D.S Jack's book "The Road to the Neverland: A Reassessment of  J M Barrie's Dramatic Art" discusses at length the possibility of Barrie having engaged with Nietzche. For him, there seems to be no question - Barrie's writings prove beyond doubt that he read and enjoyed Nietzsche. At first I totally accepted this, but the more I read around the period the more I am beginning to have my doubts, as I suspect that most of what Jack thinks Barrie got from Nietzsche could just as easily have come from other, more solidly provable, sources, particularly Meredith, who could actually read German.  But Jack's book certainly deserves a read.
