About this book
Gertrude Hall Brownell is named as author of The Wagnerian Romances. The introduction says the attempt has been made to give an idea of the charm and interest of the original text of the Wagner operas. The introduction says the book is not critique or commentary but presentation, picture, narrative, offering nothing that is not derived directly and exclusively from the Wagner libretti and scores.
A scene in the retelling has Klingsor blow his horn to warn the garrison of the palace of the approaching enemy. A scene in the retelling has Walther stop short, jarred by the sound, and resume after a moment with the words In a thorny hedge, devoured by envy and chagrin, Winter, in his armour of ill-will, cowers in hiding. The text says the power of the music of good, as Wagner lets us see, lies just in the fact that it is good.
