| Summary |
Richard Wagner was loved yet hated, admired yet despised, a villain yet a hero, a man whose fame and exploits were the gossip of Europe. Above all, he was an incurable romantic who had a scandalous love affair with Liszt's illegitimate daughter. A dangerous political revolutionary, Wagner's influence penetrated German society. He was a scoundrel, joker, philosopher, con-man, poet, refugee, virulent political orator, and one of the greatest composers who has ever lived. |
