"A serious attempt to place Wagner's dramatic work into proper context both in the field of music and in the repertoire of antisemitic literature-and it deserves to be studied carefully."-Cecil Bloom, Judaism Today.

Marc A. Weiner is a professor of Germanic studies and film studies at Indiana University and the author of Undertones of Insurrection (Nebraska 1993).
