In Search of Wagner (Radical Thinkers)

Written in exile from Germany, this potent study of Europeâ€™s most controversial composer explodes the frontiers of musical and cultural analysis. Measuring key elements of Wagnerâ€™s oeuvre with patent musical dexterity, Adorno sheds light on a nineteenth-century bourgeois figure whose operas betray the social gestures and high-culture fantasies that helped plant the seeds of the modern Culture Industry. A foreword by Slavoj ÂŽiÂžek situates Adornoâ€™s reflections within present debates over Wagnerâ€™s anti-Semitism and the moral status of his work, proving why this book remains one of the most important character studies of the twentieth century.
