The American music critic and lecturer William James Henderson
(1855 1937) wrote for The New York Times and The New York Sun,
provided the libretto for Walter Damrosch's opera Cyrano (1913) and
authored fiction, poetry, sea stories and a textbook on navigation.
He also taught at the New York College of Music and the Institute
of Musical Art. Taking up the cause of Wagner with considerable
understanding, he published this substantial work in 1902, barely
twenty years after the composer's death. It is an illuminating
account of Wagner's life and artistic aims, complemented by an
insightful analysis of each of his music dramas from Rienzi to
Parsifal. Its purpose, states Henderson, 'is to supply Wagner
lovers with a single work which shall meet all their needs'. With
Ernest Newman's Study of Wagner (1899), also reissued in this
series, it reflects the composer's contemporary popularity.
