Overview

Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 16: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea; October, 1902 Richard Wagner was a peculiarly interesting, if not altogether admirable, character. Unfortunately his real personality has been greatly obscured and distorted by the persistent efforts of his friends to conceal, and of his enemies to magnify, his faults. He was a Saxon by birth and possessed in a marked degree the phys ical and mental qualities which distinguish that branch of the German race and are due in part to an intermixture of Slavonic blood. He was eminently typical of the stock from which he sprung, just as Bismarck is the foremost representative of the Prussian or Brandenburg type with a possible tinge of Vandal blood in his veins.
