Richard Wagner has arguably the greatest and most long-term
influence on wider European culture of all nineteenth-century
composers. And yet, among the copious English-language literature
examining Wagner's works, influence, and character, research into
the composer's impact and role in Russia and Eastern European
countries, and perceptions of him from within those countries, is
noticeably sparse. Wagner in Russia, Poland and the Czech Lands
aims to redress imbalance and stimulate further research in this
rich area. The eight essays are divided in three parts - one each
on Russia, the Czech lands and Poland - and cover a wide historical
span, from the composer's first contacts with and appearances in
these regions, through to his later reception in the Communist era.
The contributing authors examine his influences in a wide range of
areas such as music, literary and epistolary heritage, politics,
and the cultural histories of Russia, the Czech lands, and Poland,
in an attempt to establish Wagner's place in a part of Europe not
commonly addressed in studies of the composer.
