About this book
Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is subtitled An Essay on the Wagnerian Drama and is by George Ainslie Hight. The preface says the following pages contain little if anything that is new, and are intended for those who are beginning the study of Wagner. The essay says that over twenty years ago a writer in a high-class magazine informed an astonished world that the Wagner-bubble has burst.
The essay says Wagner is indeed fashionable and his works are regularly performed in every capital in Europe. A summary of the story says that when polishing his armour the princess finds the sword with a gap in its blade exactly fitting the splinter which she has taken from Morold's skull. Brangäne argues with great eloquence that he will be much more useful to them alive than dead. The essay describes a moment when the question "Shall I return once more to the day?" is put and the reply, given with enthusiasm, is "Let the day yield to death".
