The authors offer a wide variety of perspectives from different countries and several disciplines, and focus on myth in Wagner, his female characters, his dramaturgy and his comic opera, as well as Wagner's affinities with Bellini, hermann levi, Franz Liszt and Thomas Mann. The staging and singing of Wagner in Sweden is preseted, as is his influence on Swedish opera composers, his presence in Swedish fiction and how he is used for biographical identification. Wagner's influence and inspriation on music, literature, and personal life is problematised.
