Book Reviews of Death-Devoted Heart: Sex and Sacred in Wagner's Tristan and Isolde
Book Review: Outstanding essay
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding essay written by one of Britain's foremost conservative philosophers. Although his conservative bias sometimes blurs the lines between criticism and moral (political?) activism, the book offers a unique perspective on Wagner and is saturated with historical information. A must for any Wagnerian.
