Wagner in Russia, Poland and the Czech Lands: Musical, Literary and Cultural Perspectives

By Anastasia Belina-Johnson and Stephen Muir

Book Overview

Richard Wagner has arguably the greatest and most long-term influence on wider European culture of all nineteenth-century composers and yet, among the copious English-language literature examining Wagner's works, influence, and character, research into the composer's impact and role in Russia and Eastern European countries, and perceptions of him from within those countries, is noticeably sparse. Wagner in Russia, Poland and the Czech Lands aims to redress imbalance and stimulate further research in this rich area.
