Richard Wagner is one of the most controversial figures in Western
cultural history. He revolutionized not only opera but the very
concept of art, and his works and ideas have had an immeasurable
impact on both the cultural and political landscapes of the late
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From 'absolute music' to
'Zurich' and from 'Theodor Adorno' to 'Hermann Zumpe', the
vividly-written entries of The Cambridge Wagner Encyclopedia have
been contributed by recognized authorities and cover a
comprehensive range of topics. More than eighty scholars from
around the world, representing disciplines from history and
philosophy to film studies and medicine, provide fascinating
insights into Wagner's life, career and influence. Multiple
appendices include listings of Wagner's works, historic
productions, recordings and addresses where he lived, to round out
a volume that will be an essential and reliable resource for
enthusiasts and academics alike.
