Reviews

"An extraordinarily helpful volume that will save untold hours of reference time for the student, the general reader, and the literary scholar."
*The Modern Language Journal*

"A reference work of distinction which all who work in the field of literary studies will find extremely useful if not, indeed, indispensable."
*Classical Journal*

"I consider this volume nearly as essential for any working poet as a good dictionary."---Judson Jerome, Writer's Digest

"A work of scholarship, much humour and literary value."
*The Times Literary Supplement*

"No handier one-volume compendium is now available to provide so much useful, authoritative material on the history, theory, and craft of imaginative writing."
*Books Abroad*

"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, . . . [offering] countless insights both profound and fascinating."---Barry Millington, Opera

"Nattiez's synthetic approach to Wagner's theory and practice . . . coupled with his profound understanding of the composer's life, 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
