In the context of the social culture of Europe, the rise and fall of Wagnerism ushered in a structural change of artistic forms, a process which in some sense manages to lay bare the transformations of modern culture over two entire centuries. What is presented rather as a complex psycho-sociological theorization of the process involved in producing a work of art, in fact manifests itself as a reformulation of ideas in literature and theatre, in criticism and cinema, providing us with a vast and articulate sketch of an almost endless series of those influences which Wagner's oeuvre has been able to give rise to. The purpose of the present work is to expand, in this very direction, the thorough study of a system of convergences and dissonances, whether in the sphere of aesthetics, or in the context of that which remains of the oeuvre in the complex and as yet unfinished history of its reception. The editor's aim has been to examine the Wagnerian influence which is present in the process of politico-geographical transformation of Europe, Russia and the United States from the fin de siecle to the middle of the 20th century. Furthermore, on the same topic, he has striven to cover also the silent revolution which Wagnerism precipitated in literature and in the field of social sciences, its legacy and the inevitable transformations it brought about.

Born in 1947, Gottfried grew up in post-war Bayreuth. In this atmosphere of deceit and discretion, he discovered the darker nature of his great-grandfather Richard Wagner's legacy: the intrinsic anti-Semitism in the composer's music and his heirs' beliefs; how Hitler proposed to Gottfried's English-born grandmother; how plans were drawn up to divide the world culturally, post Nazi victory, between Wolfgang and Wieland Wagner; and how the world of contemporary opera maintains and promotes anti-Semitic ideology even today.

Wagner chronicles his family's itinerary with National Socialism, from his great-grandfather's anti-Semitic pamphlets to his father's, uncle's and grandparents' close relationship with Adolf Hitler.

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is one of the most influential - and also one of the most controversial - composers in the history of music. Over the course of his long career, he produced a stream of spellbinding works that challenged musical convention through their richness and tonal experimentation, ultimately paving the way for modernism. This book presents an in-depth but easy-to-read overview of Wagner's life, work and times. It considers a wide range of themes, including the composer's original sources of inspiration; his fetish for exotic silks; his relationship with his wife, Cosima, and with his mistress, Mathilde Wesendonck; the anti-semitism that is undeniably present in the operas; their proto-cinematic nature; and the turbulent legacy both of the Bayreuth Festival and of Wagnerism itself. Making use of the very latest scholarship - much of it undertaken by the author himself in connection with his editorship of The Wagner Journal - Millington reassesses received notions about Wagner and his work, demolishing ill-informed opinion in favour of proper critical understanding. It is a radical - and occasionally controversial - reappraisal of this most perplexing of composers. The volume's arrangement - unique among books on the composer -combines an accessible text, intriguing images and original documents, thus ensuring a consistently fresh approach. Bringing new insights to an endlessly fascinating subject, The Sorcerer of Bayreuth will charm anyone interested in music and in the wider cultural life of the 19th century and beyond.

This biography delves into the life of Richard Wagner, a German composer, theatre director, conductor, and polemicist, who is famous for his operas or "music dramas." Wagner was a unique opera composer who wrote both the libretto and music for his works, unlike most of his contemporaries. He began his career composing romantic works, but he became a revolutionary force in the world of opera by creating the Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," which aimed to merge the poetic, visual, musical, and dramatic arts with music subservient to drama. Wagner's most complete realization of this idea was the four-opera cycle 'Der Ring des Nibelungen.' This book provides an in-depth look at the life and accomplishments of one of the most important and innovative figures in the world of music.

A Knight at the Opera examines the remarkable and unknown role that the medieval legend (and Wagner opera) Tannh user played in Jewish cultural life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book analyzes how three of the greatest Jewish thinkers of that era, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Herzl, and I. L. Peretz, used this central myth of Germany to strengthen Jewish culture and to attack anti-Semitism. Readers will see how Tannh user evolves from a medieval knight to Peretz's pious Jewish scholar in the Land of Israel. The book also discusses how the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was so inspired by Wagner's opera that he wrote The Jewish State while attending performances of it. A Knight at the Opera uses Tannh user as a way to examine the changing relationship between Jews and the broader world during the advent of the modern era, and to question if any art, even that of a prominent anti-Semite, should be considered taboo.

This study examines composer Richard Wagner's politics and legacy. The text is organized into sections (prelude, Acts I, II, III, coda, and postlude) that attempt to follow the way in which a very long opera progresses. Following an overview chapter, Wagnerian expert Pateman discusses Proudhon, Bakunin, and other influences on Wagner; Wagner and revolution, anarchism, and anti-Semitism; and Wagner's influence. The book contains a table of the composer's work, times, and sources, as well as one that provides the sources, political views and professions of those who claimed to be Wagnerians.
