In the context of the social culture of Europe, the rise and fall
of Wagnerism ushered in a structural change of artistic forms, a
process which in some sense manages to lay bare the transformations
of modern culture over two entire centuries. What is presented
rather as a complex psycho-sociological theorization of the process
involved in producing a work of art, in fact manifests itself as a
reformulation of ideas in literature and theatre, in criticism and
cinema, providing us with a vast and articulate sketch of an almost
endless series of those influences which Wagner's oeuvre has been
able to give rise to. The purpose of the present work is to expand,
in this very direction, the thorough study of a system of
convergences and dissonances, whether in the sphere of aesthetics,
or in the context of that which remains of the oeuvre in the
complex and as yet unfinished history of its reception. The
editor's aim has been to examine the Wagnerian influence which is
present in the process of politico-geographical transformation of
Europe, Russia and the United States from the fin de siecle to the
middle of the 20th century. Furthermore, on the same topic, he has
striven to cover also the silent revolution which Wagnerism
precipitated in literature and in the field of social sciences, its
legacy and the inevitable transformations it brought about.
