Wagner was a serious student of the myths and sagas of Northern Europe, and the \u003cem\u003eRing\u003c\/em\u003e is surprisingly faithful to them. Wagner retells the traditional stories, revealing new layers of meaning. Indeed, of all the works that have preserved Germanic mythology, Wagner's \u003cem\u003eRing \u003c\/em\u003eis the most beautiful and the most profound. Cleary includes a detailed account of the composer's use of the traditional sources. In addition, he offers a complete interpretation of the \u003cem\u003eRing\u003c\/em\u003e, demonstrating Wagner's synthesis of German myth and German philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724939923519,"sku":"9781642641011","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/bb58538dd2fa1142285744c42f5cf28b.webp?v=1765104468","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/wagners-ring-and-the-germanic-tradition-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
