"Contemporary editors and translators made available the material for Wagner's 'Ring', while the illuminating or obscuring work of scholars and fellow poets influenced the shape it took. This book explores in detail their contributions from the act structure of Siegfried to the Finale of Gotterdammerung, from the dark activity of the Nibelungs to the 'Walweben' idyll from the riddle of Wotan's eye to the god's terminal inner conflict."-dj.
