| Publisher Description: This book is a well-researched and exhaustive analysis of the role of women in Wagner's operas. Wagner's varied portrayal of the relationships of the sexes is revealingly interpreted. There was no doubt that Wagner regarded women subservient to men. This comes out not only in his life but also in his works, where we see the power of women's sexuality posing a threat to male dominance. |
