Remembering Richard Wagner
(May 22, 1813-February 13, 1883)
Greg Johnson
Richard Wagner was born on May 22, 1813 in Leipzig in the Kingdom of Saxony. He died on February 13, 1883 in Venice. As an artist, intellectual, author, and cultural force, Wagner has left an immense metapolitical legacy, which is being evaluated and appropriated in the North American New Right. I wish to draw your attention to the following writings which have been published at Counter-Currents.
Also of note is Collin Cleary’s book Wagner’s Ring and the Germanic Tradition, published by Wagnerphile Books.
