Summary
Wagner?s operatic cycle The Ring functions metaphorically as a caustic critique of 19th-century European society. Learn about Wagner?s embrace of anti-capitalist rhetoric in 1848 and 1849, a time when revolutions broke out across Europe, and his writing of revolutionary articles and manifestos. Grasp how the Ring?s human and godlike characters represent the ills of industrial societies, and how Wagner envisioned a new "age of man"which would follow the demise of the European monarchies
