In the vast literature on Richard Wagner, Ernest Newmans classic four-volume Life remains unsurpassed.Volume II carries the story from 1848 to 1860. It describes the important, formative years in Wagners life and reconstructs his role in the Dresden rising of 1849. Newman also discusses the changes that the Ring poem underwent during this period and illuminates Wagners relations with his wife Minna, his mentor Liszt, and his circle in Zurich.
