Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Operas of Wagner: Their Plots, Music, and History
Each of the music-dramas dealt with, Parsifal excepted, has formed the subject of a separate volume issued by the publishers in a series devoted to the Great Operas. In thus bringing the individual Wagner volumes within one cover, I have tried to eliminate all repetitions and other overlapping matter, and to give the work such unity as is attainable under the circumstances.
My obligations are due, more or less, to all the leading writers on Wagner and his works. They are especially due to my friend Miss J. C. Drysdale.
