Originally published in 1981, this is a one-volume paperback
edition of Dr von Westernhagen's distinguished biography, first
published in English by Cambridge University Press as a hardcover
edition in two volumes. Its distinction was that it made use of
fresh archive material, and took as its starting point the supreme
greatness of Wagner's artistry. Dr von Westerhagen quotes
extensively from letters and diaries to throw light, for example,
on Wagner's estrangement from Nietzsche. The author also consulted
the contents of the composer's Dresden library and teenage
composition exercises written for his teacher, Theodor Weinlig, to
establish early influences upon him. Particularly useful features
of this study are the appendices which include a chronological
summary of Wagner's life, a complete list of his musical and
literary compositions and a large bibliography. This is a
definitive biography which stands beside Newman's classic work as
an indispensable reference book for all studies of Wagner.
