This volume is based loosely on characters from the Norse sagas, and translated here into English by Margaret Armour. Initially establishing his reputation as a romantic composer, Wagner revolutionized opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts. This edition of THE RHINEGOLD & THE VALKYRIE is heightened by the dazzling color illustrations of a master of the craft, Arthur Rackham. One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackhams artistry is unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Wagners captivating storytelling.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Rackham, Arthur. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
