Ernest Newman's four-volume Life of Wagner, originally published
between 1933 and 1947, remains a classic work of biography. The
culmination of forty years' research on the composer and his works
(Newman's first Study of Wagner was first published in 1899), these
books present a detailed portrait of perhaps the most influential,
the most controversial and the most frequently reviled composer in
the whole history of western music. Newman was aware that no
biography can ever claim to be complete or completely accurate:
'The biographer can at no stage hope to have reached the final
truth. All he can do is to make sure that whatever statement he may
make, whatever conclusion he may come to, shall be based on the
whole of the evidence available at the time of writing.' In this
aim he triumphantly succeeds. Volume 1 covers the years 1813 to
1848.
