Richard Wagner has fascinated every generation of opera lovers for over a century, and a mass of literature has interpreted and reinterpreted his character, as well as the components of the great music dramas that are still some of the most fascinating and complex operas in the international repertory today. In this study, Garten approaches Wagner from a different angle: his book is an exploration of the operas' background material: the myths and legends that the composer employed, in which much of their interest, other than the purely musical, can be found. Garten shows how legends of the old Nordic gods, the troubadours and Minnesingers, the quest for the grail, as well as stories taken from folklore and history were transformed into the theatrical mythology of Wagner's music dramas.
