Richard Wagner has fascinated every generation of opera-lovers for
over a century, and a mass of literature has interpreted and
reinterpreted not only his character, but also the components of
the great music dramas that are still some of the most captivating
and complex operas in the international repertory today. In this
excellent study, Garten examines the cultural and historical
sources of these operas: the myths and legends that Wagner
employed, in which much of his works' interest, other than the
purely musical, can be found. Garten's study also shows how legends
of the old Nordic gods, the troubadours and Minnesingers, the quest
for the grail, as well as stories taken from folklore and history,
were transformed into the theatrical mythology of Wagner's music
dramas.
