Pokrywa Jessie L. Weston: The Legends of the Wagner Drama (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

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.
