| Publisher Description: This is an essay on Wagner's musical and literary works. Dallas unfolds Wagner's enlightening and exceptionally intelligent contribution to our understanding of the human condition and the psyche of modern man in his quest for freedom, historical renewal and civic harmony outside the zone of the political forces that exist in the world today. Interweaving philosophy, musical theory, history, bio-politics and literature Dallas recognizes and identifies Wagner's central understanding that it is not structuralist authority, but what men and women are, which constitutes the basis of a free and just society, and that woman - true womanhood - has a unique spiritual significance and role in that - an understanding that made Wagner "a revolutionary at one blow." |
