Speranza
Nattiez's study an exposition of the aesthetic of androgyny, its place in
nineteenth-century thought, and its particular manifestation in Wagner's oeuvre,
is breathtaking in the depth of its research and thoroughly persuasive in the
connections it traces in the history of ideas.
A dazzling display of
argumentation, fascinating." -- Barry Millington,
Opera
"Nattiez's synthetic approach to Wagner's theory and
practice make this volume a major contribution to Wagnerian studies.
It is a
highly enriching and most comprehensive treatment of Wagner the artist and the
human being." -- Steven R. Cerf, Wagner Notes
"The book
provides an analysis of Wagner that is both detailed and erudite.
Nattiez is
especially successful in describing the intellectual world in which Wagner
worked.... Wagnerians and scholars of contemporary hermeneutics will find much
to enjoy here." -- Peter J. Rabinowitz, Opera Quarterly
