Om denne bog
Wagner''s Ring is one of the greatest of all artworks of Western civilization, but what is it all about? The power and mystery of Wagner''s creation was such that even he felt he stood before his work ''as though before some puzzle''. A clue to the Ring''s greatness lies in its multiple avenues of self-disclosure and the corresponding plethora of interpretations that over the years has granted ample scope for directors, and will no doubt do so well into the distant future. One possible interpretation, which Richard Bell argues should be taken seriously, is the Ring as Christian theology. In this first of two volumes, Bell considers, among other things, how the composer''s Christian interests may be detected in the ''forging'' of his Ring, in his appropriation of sources (whether they be myths and sagas, writers, poets, or philosophers), and in works composed around the same time, especially his Jesus of Nazareth.
