Description

Wagner was one of the few major composers who studied philosophy seriously.

Bryan Magee places the composer's artistic development in the context of the philosophy of his age, and gives us the first detailed and comprehensive study of the close links between Wagner and the philosophers - from the pre-Marxist socialists to Feuerbach and Schopenhauer.

Magee explores the relationship between words and music, between the conscious and the unconscious mind, between art and philosophy.

It tackles soberly and judiciously the Wagner whose paranoia, egocentricity and anti-semitism are repugnant, as well as the Wagner of artistic genius.

The resulting text illuminates Wagner and the music-dramas in altogether new ways.
