Death-devoted heart : sex and the sacred in Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolde'
Scruton, Roger2004
Books
In this text, Roger Scruton argues that 'Tristan and Isolde' has profound religious meaning, as relevant today as it was to Wagner's contemporaries. Both philosophical and musicological, his analysis touches on the nature of tragedy, the significance of ritual sacrifice and the meaning of redemption.
