More DescriptionThis is the first truly interdisciplinary collection devoted to the legacy of Richard Wagner to merge insights from Musicology and Music Theory with explorations of the composer's vast socio-cultural impact from such fields as History, German, and Disability Studies.

Contributors include Robert Gauldin, Warren Darcy, Marc Weiner, and Paul Rose.
