The legend of the Swan Knight who rescues a princess from the
forces of pagan evil is one of Christian Europe's foundation myths.
Lohengrin transformed Wagner into an international figure almost
overnight, and it remained his most popular work throughout the
nineteenth century. Thomas Grey proposes that this was because it
offered a "cautious taste" of his later works, while preserving
some of the familiar traditions of French grand opera. John
Deathridge asks why Wagner denied its Christian symbolism, and
Janet Nelson argues that his vision of the Christian Middle Ages
prefigured a modern historical approach. The English translation is
by Amanda Holden. Contents: Wagner's 'Alter Ego', John Deathridge;
