In this book Lucy Beckett gives a comprehensive account of Wagner's
last and strangest opera. The literary sources of this work, its
many links with Wagner's life and thought, its libretto, music and
stage history, are all thoroughly examined. There is a full
commentary, with extensive quotation, on the work's critical
history, and finally, a fresh assessment of its place in the Wagner
canon and of its unique quality as a music drama that is both
modern and Christian. Full references, a bibliography and a
discography are provided. A special chapter of musical analysis is
contributed by Arnold Whittall.
