Wagner is one of the most controversial of composers, and much
that has been written about him--including his autobiography--is
misleading. Barry Millington draws on the best previous scholarship
and his own original research to set the record straight. The first
part of this book is devoted to biography; the second, to a
detailed study of the operas. Millington offers a historical review
of the critical interpretation of each opera, including a
discussion of recent methods of formal analysis. In this revised
edition, two chapters, those on Tannhauser and Die Meistersinger,
include significant new material. The bibliography has also been
updated.
