Description

In Treacherous Bonds and Laughing Fire, Mark Berry examines the political and religious ideas within Wagner's Ring. By looking closely at the text and drama, the book explores the many intellectual influences that shaped the composer during the long process of writing this work. Wagner was not a revolutionary for art alone; his writings contain explicit political concerns. This study shows how his radical challenge to liberal-democratic politics is tied to his aesthetic vision. Using a wealth of Wagner source material, Berry connects the composer's political tracts to the artistic realm, providing a deep look at the connections between religion, politics, and music in one of history's most famous works.
