Few major artists have aroused the ire and adulation of successive
generations as persistently as Richard Wagner. He was the centre of
controversy during his lifetime and yet, when he died, he was the
most idolized man in Germany. The situation has not changed much
since then. Simon Williams explores the reasons for this adulation
and antipathy by examining an aspect that may be a fundamental
cause for this radical division in the reception of Wagner's work,
the phenomenon of heroism. Williams analyses this heroism as a
function of Wagner's theatre and music, beginning with a definition
and examination of the concept of the heroic. The book also
discusses all thirteen stage works by Wagner and the phenomenon of
heroism and Wagner's adaptation of the figure of the Romantic hero.
Williams offers a theatrical, musical, and cultural re-evaluation
of one of the most enduring figures in the arts.
