Description
In the introduction to this new volume in the Routledge Music Bibliographies series, Michael Saffle manages to describe Richard Wagner in 1000 words. However, Saffle leaves no stone unturned as he annotates all the bibliographic material on Wagner: the documentary legacies, his life and times including his relationships with men and women and his opera, including the classics Der Ring der Nibelungen, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal. The book also lists research on such unexpected and engaging subjects as Wagner and the Media; Wagner, Nationalism and German Culture; Wagner in European and American Literature, and Wagner and Anti-Semitism.
