Written by a woman from one woman's perspective, Seasons with the
Meistersinger is an intimate view of 19th century German composer
Richard Wagner, the times in which he lived and the women with whom
he shared his life. Unlike most biographies, music criticisms, and
psychological studies of Wagner's works, Seasons challenges the
widely-held conclusion that his development as an artist was
hindered by a simple, slow-minded wife incapable of understanding
the art he was attempting to achieve. Through detailed, factually
based anecdotes, the reader comes to know his wife Minna Planer, a
woman of talent, both beautiful and practical without whom Wagner
might never have achieved anything, much less his extraordinary
uniting of poetry, music and drama.
