| Summary |
'Tristan's Shadow' is an important, highly intelligent, and ambitious study. Rigorously researched, blissfully unencumbered by canonical narratives, and written with Adrian Daub's signature verve, this book provides a new, and entirely compelling, account of German opera after Wagner. |
