| Description: |
A collection of readings offering new interpretations of Wagner's ideological position in German history. The issues discussed range from the biographical to the aesthetic and ideological, and topics include his treatment of medieval Nuremberg, his anti-Semitism and his musical heirs. |
| Synopsis: |
This multidisciplinary collection of readings offers new interpretations of Richard Wagner's ideological position in German history. The issues discussed range from the biographical - the reasons for Wagner's travels, his political life - to the aesthetic and ideological, regarding his re-creation of medieval Nuremberg, his representations of gender and nationality, his vocal iconography, his anti-Semitism, his vegetarian and Christian arguments, and, finally, his musical heirs. The essays avoid journalistic or iconoclastic approaches to Wagner, and depart from the usual uncritical admiration of earlier scholars in an attempt to develop a stimulating and ultimately cohesive collection of new perspectives. |
