Richard Wagner

“Three collections of letters by Wagner have been published. One consists of some two hundred letters to Lizst; a second, of one hundred and seventy-five letters to his Dresden friends, Uhlig, Fischer, and Heine; the third collection of letters, those addressed to Roeckel and here introduced to the English reader, is comparatively very small – twelve letters only, but owing to a peculiar combination of circumstances, these twelve letters are so full of varied interest, that perhaps no other publication exists which is so qualified to serve as a first introduction to Wagner.” (From the preface.)
