It is with the support of this important collection that Authors Hum and Root have undertaken to deface Wagner's self-portrait, creating in its stead one of a mean, unscrupulous, supremely arrogant person; one which comes as no surprise to the unprejudiced Wagnerian. In so doing they point darkly at the dying lady...
