Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde: Translated Into English Verse
HE halo of romance encircles a great many incidents in the life of Richard Wagner, and this fact stamps him as the most interesting personality in the entire gallery of famous ma sicians. Measuring Wagner's character by the rule of com monplace conventionality, it is very easy to discover short comings: his supreme arro gance, his monumental ingratitude, and his enormous egoism; but, after these and other faults have been frankly admitted, it will be seen that the trait of fascinating interest still remains.
