About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. 309 pages; Clean and crisp - like new. The biography of the composer who reflected the contradictory intellectual, spiritual and artistic movements of the 19th century. It 'evokes the world in which Wagner lived and its fervour of revolution, nationalism and romanticism'. It interweaves Wagner's daring creative vision; his tempestuous amorous and political life and his friendships with powerful princes and philosophers. Well written by the noted Caxton bookseller. .
