Description

The Consolations of History in Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung presents a study of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelungenthrough an analysis of the words and music of the final opera Götterdämmerung. The book effectively rehabilitates Götterdämmerungby giving greater credence to its original dramatic and philosophical aims, arguing that Götterdämmerung, and hence The Ringas a whole, achieves coherence when read in terms of contemporary nineteenth-century theories of progress, in particular, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's philosophies of mind and history. It examines a number of recurring themes that continue to shape contemporary interpretations of the opera and demonstrates how The Ring as completed in 1872 embraced a sanguine faith in the march of history and human spiritual and cultural evolution. This is an ambitious and novel interpretation of a key operatic work. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of Opera Studies, Music and Philosophy, Music History, and all those interested in the works of Richard Wagner. vel interpretation of a key operatic work.
