Richard Wagner by Joachim Khler
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. Kohler draws on social and political analysis, documentary interpretation and psychological insights in his portrait of Wagner.
