Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Cosima Wagner was a remarkable woman. Daughter of franz Liszt, wife…of the conductor Hans von Bulow, at the age of thrity-one she abandoned her husband and two daughters of her marriage to join her life with that of the man whose genius she revered. She had already borne Wagner two daughters, and was soon to give him a son. This first volume covers some of the crucial years of his life. Under Cosima's influence, he resumed work on The Ring of the Nibelungs - a task which had earlied daunted him by its magnitude. At the same time another gigantic enterprise was conceived and realized: the financing and building of a festival theatre in Bayreuth, and the first performances of the Bayreuth Festspiele. In her understanding of Wagner's literary and musical work Cosima was, as Wagner himself recognized, an equal partner. She also participated actively in the creation of the Bayreuth festivals, and, less happily, espused the composer's many prejudices. But the special attraction of the diaries lies in their private revelations: the minutiae of child-rearing and housekeeping; the quarrels and tensions brought about by Wagner's moodiness and constant money problems; Cosima's own tendency to depression, her torment when separated from her two elder daughters, and her struggle to obtain the divorce which would regularize her position and remove the stigma on her children. Every page of her single-minded chronicle of devotion throws new light on Wagner, whose comments on mucis, literature, people, events, even his dreams, she set down for her children and for posterity. Illustrated. 1199 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

"Perhaps the most complete & detailed account of the life… of a working artist that musical literature provides." -Gordon A Craig.

We have copious journals kept by artists about their own works and days (Virgina Woolf, for example). We have letters such as those by Van Gogh in which an artist pours out the inmost of his existence. But we have no day-to-day intimate record of the life of a master of Wagner's stature during a period of creation at all comparable to Cosima's. This is, therefore, a document of intrinsic fascination, & a treasure-trove for anyone interested in Wagner, in the psychology of great artists, in the history of music, in the course of European social & political history during the latter 19th century. It is no overstatement whatever to say that it will take a generation of close reading before the wealth of material in this diary, & the historical & psychological issues it raises, are absorbed. Life crowds in on us from these pages, under pressure of genius. It is a banner year for the exact remembrance of great things past." The POSTSCRIPT by Geoffrey Skelton gives the medical details of Wagner's death & a brief report on Cosima's reaction to her loss, since her diary entries stop w/ the day of Richard Wagner's death, never to be resumed. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this superb 2-volume boxed set for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & (due its weight) via MANDATORY USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY AIRMAIL to international destinations at below-cost rates quoted on request.
