The German actress Minna Planer (1809-66) was Wagner's first wife.
Though it lasted until her death, their marriage, never an easy
one, was punctuated by long periods of separation, and during its
early years Minna was the main breadwinner. William Ashton Ellis
(1852-1919) abandoned his medical career to devote himself to his
Wagner studies. Best known for his translations of Wagner's prose
works, he published in 1909 this collection of letters from the
composer, translated from the originals in Baron Hans von
Wolzogen's Richard Wagner an Minna Wagner (1908). Concerned
predominantly with domestic and business affairs, many of them
complaining at Minna's lack of support, the letters offer an
intriguing and intimate view of this larger-than-life composer.
Spanning the period 1858-63, Volume 2 covers their uneasy, brief
reconciliation in Paris, Wagner's concerns over Minna's failing
health, and her return to Dresden in 1862, which marked their final
separation.
