Description

This major new biography of Richard Wagner is iconoclastic, astringent and bold. It explores the philosophical roots of Wagner's work, which the composer himself deliberately obfuscated. It re-evaluates Wagner's relationships with his mother, step-father and - most revealingly - his wife, Cosima, standing received opinion on its head. And he meets head on, and confirms, the controversy over Wagner's anti-semitism. At the same time, and notwithstanding, Kohler profoundly acknowledges Wagner's genius. His biography should become the standard account for a good many years. .

Author Biography:

Joachim Kohler is the author of Nietzsche and Wagner: A Lesson in Subjugation and Zarathustra's Secret: The Interior Life of Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Yale University Press.
