| Publisher Description: Tietz (philosophy, Simon Fraser U.) discusses the unusual structure of the 19th-century German cycle of four operas, and surveys major critical viewpoints of it. He takes Frederich Nietzsche's criticisms as the basis for a positive reading of The Ring. Compared to other recent analyses, he includes more musical examples and generalizes more to find overall themes. |
