Wagners Ring and the Germanic Tradition

Descrição: In this remarkable book, Collin Cleary defends Richard Wagners Der Ring des Nibelungen against the claim that it distorts Germanic mythology. Wagner was a serious student of the myths and sagas of Northern Europe, and the Ring is surprisingly faithful to them. Wagner retells the traditional stories, revealing new layers of meaning. Indeed, of all the works that have preserved Germanic mythology, Wagners Ring is the most beautiful and the most profound. Cleary includes a detailed account of the composers use of the traditional sources. In addition, he offers a complete interpretation of the Ring, demonstrating Wagners synthesis of German myth and German philosophy.
