Produktinformationen zu „Cosima Wagner, English edition “
In this meticulously researched book, Oliver Hilmes paints a fascinating and revealing picture of the extraordinary Cosima Wagner--illegitimate daughter of Franz Liszt, wife of the conductor Hans von Bulow, then mistress and subsequently wife of Richard Wagner. After Wagner's death in 1883 Cosima played a crucial role in the promulgation and politicization of his works, assuming control of the Bayreuth Festival and transforming it into a shrine to German nationalism. The High Priestess of the Wagnerian cult, Cosima lived on for almost fifty years, crafting the image of Richard Wagner through her organizational ability and ideological tenacity.
The first book to make use of the available documentation at Bayreuth, this biography explores the achievements of this remarkable and obsessive woman while illuminating a still-hidden chapter of European cultural history.

Rezension zu „Cosima Wagner, English edition “
"Its elegant writing, assured translation, original research, and dispassionate approach make the book a pleasure to read. Hilmes' definitive account is not by a Wagnerian or worse yet by a 'Bayreuthian', but by a scholar."--;i>The Wagner Society of New York"--F. Peter Phillips "The Wagner Society of New York "
