near fine dust-jacket, very good black cloth, but printed on cheap paper which is browning, and with glued binding, probably as good a copy as it gets given the production quality. ROSE, PAUL LAWRENCE. Wagner: race and revolution. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1992, 1st printing number line starting with 1, x, 246pp., . Printed in England. - It has long been acknowledged that Richard Wagner was a virulent anti-Semite, yet the composer has also been characterized as an idealistic revolutionary. In this fascinating book, Paul Lawrence Rose argues that for Wagner, as for many other Germans, the idea of revolution always contained a racial and antisemitic core. He offers fresh and stimulating interpretations of Wagner's music based on an analysis of their revolutionary and anti-Semitic elements. - CONTENTS: Introduction, The problem : the two Wagners -- The German revolution and the birth of a new antisemitism.
