Richard Wagner, Fritz Lang, and the Nibelungen: The Dramaturgy of Disavowal - Princeton Studies in Opera
David J. Levin
Explores the relationship between aesthetics and anti-Semitism in two controversial landmarks in German culture. This book argues that Richard Wagner's opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" and Fritz Lang's 1920s film "Die Nibelungen" exploits contrasts between good and bad aesthetics to address the question of what is German and what is not.
