The groundbreaking operas of Richard Wagner (1813-1883) changed the nature of the form. In Legends of the Wagner Drama, Weston examines the relationship of Wagner's grand operas--including Der Ring des Nibelungen, or the Ring cycle, and Parsifal--to the literary and legendary sources upon which they were founded.
