Ernest Newman (1868-1959) was undoubtedly the greatest Wagnerian critic of his age. In this 1914 work, which deserves its place in the history of Wagner studies, he attempts 'a complete and impartial psychological estimate' of a complex and frequently misinterpreted genius who could also behave like a petty tyrant.
