Re-reading Wagner, Hardback Book

Re-reading Wagner Hardback

Edited by Reinhold Grimm, Jost Hermand

Hardback

Description

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.
