520 _a"Wagner as Man & Artist" by Ernest Newman is a biographical study of the influential composer Richard Wagner, written in the early 20th century. This work explores Wagner's complex character and his artistic theories through a rich examination of his life, writings, and letters. The book aims to provide a psychological and chronological overview of Wagner, revealing his dual nature as a man and an artist, while addressing both his virtues and failings. The opening of the work introduces the author’s intention to dissect Wagner’s persona and artistic contributions in a nuanced way. Newman explains that while there is a wealth of biographical material surrounding Wagner, much of it has been either glorifying or overly critical. He contends that Wagner’s life was marked by both extraordinary creativity and profound personal flaws, making him a figure worthy of detailed scrutiny. Newman acknowledges the challenges of reconciling Wagner's self-portrayal in his autobiography with the perspectives of contemporaries and critics, laying the groundwork for a candid and multifaceted exploration of Wagner's life and works throughout the rest of the book.
