Written in exile from Germany, this potent study of Europe's most
controversial composer explodes the frontiers of musical and
cultural analysis. Measuring key elements of Wagner's oeuvre with
patent musical dexterity, Adorno sheds light on a
nineteenth-century bourgeois figure whose operas betray the social
gestures and high-culture fantasies that helped plant the seeds of
the modern Culture Industry. A foreword by Slavoj Zizek situates
Adorno's reflections within present debates over Wagner's
anti-Semitism and the moral status of his work, proving why this
book remains one of the most important character studies of the
twentieth century.
