Wagner's Ring and the Germanic Tradition Cleary Collin
In this remarkable book, Collin Cleary defends Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen against the claim that it "distorts" Germanic mythology. Wagner retells the traditional stories, revealing new layers of meaning. Wagner was a serious student of the myths and sagas of Northern Europe, and the Ring is surprisingly faithful to them.
