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 1842-58, Volume 1 covers the couple's period in Dresden,
Wagner's hurried departure after the 1849 uprising, and the years
in Zurich culminating in the relationship with Mathilde Wesendonck.
