1910895P4DLondon; New York: William Heinemann; Doubleday page 1910-11. First edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 10" by 7.5". Arthur Rackham. A beautifully and colourfully illustrated copy of Richard Wagner's epic four epic opera dramas illustrated throughout by Arthur Rackham with tipped-in colour plates scarce to see in their original dust wrappers. The first editions first impression.Both volumes are in their scarce original unclipped dust wrappers.Complete in two volumes.'The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie' illustrated with a tipped-in colour frontispiece and thirty-three tipped-in colour plates.'Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods' illustrated with a tipped-in colour frontispiece and twenty-nine tipped-in colour plates.'Arthur Rackham Exhibition' advertising slip loosely inserted.Collated complete.These two volumes contain Richard Wagner's four epic music dramas the series being titled 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' or 'The Ring of the Nibelung' or simply the 'Ring Cycle'. These four are 'Das Rheingold'/'The Rhinegold' 'Die Walkure'/'The Valkyrie' 'Siegfried' and 'Gotterdammerung'/'Twilight of the Gods'. All four dramas are in these two volumes.The four dramas are loosely based on characters from Norse mythology and the Nibelungenlied.The plot of the four dramas revolves around a magical ring that grants the wearer the power to rule the world. It is said that the ring was forged by the Nibelung dwarf Alberich from gold that he stole from the River Rhine's maidens.Wagner wrote the libretto and music over about twenty-six years from 1848 to 1874. He intended them to be performed in a series and the first performance of the cycle opened at the first Bayreuth Festival in 1876. Many believe that the composition and story of this cycle raised the standards of the art form. It is also considered that to put on the cycle is one of the biggest challenges any opera company can undertake. Richard Wagner is well remembered today for his operas which are known for their complex textures rich harmonies and for the fact that he wrote both the libretto and music. His 1857-59 work 'Tristan und Isolde' has been considered to lay the groundwork for classical music in the twentieth century being the start of modern music.Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Rackham was a book illustrator who illustrated editions of 'The Ingoldsby Legends' 'The Wind in the Willows' 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' and 'Gulliver's Travels' as well as contributing frequently to periodicals. He is considered to be one of the leaders of the 'Golden Age' of book illustrations.Translated from German to English by Margaret Armour a Scottish translator poet and novelist. She also translated worked by Gustav Legerlotz and Heinrich Heine. In the original publisher's cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrappers. Externally smart.

A VERY HANDSOMELY BOUND SET WITH THE IMPORTANT RACKHAM ILLUSTRATIONS TO WAGNER'S RING CYCLE. It is obvious at first glance that Rackham was deeply and personally inspired by Wagner’s great mythic theme. His illustrations emerge from each page with dramatic force and stirring emotion. The Rhinegold illustrations were a grand achievement in the continuing evolution of the artist’s style. Unlike many of his other books his Wagnerian illustrations were not geared to a child audience. He wrote to a twelve year old fan “I am very glad you like my illustrations. I am rather afraid that the books of mine that are coming out this year and next which illustrate Wagner’s great Music-stories the ‘Ring of the Nibelungs’ are not very well suited for those lucky people who haven’t yet finished the delightful adventure of growing up but soon perhaps you will know and be fond of Wagner’s music and writings and then you may like these drawings of mine as well as the others.â€-from Derek Hudson.<br> The artist invites us intimately into the heroic realm of the Norse Myths with his seemingly inexhaustible creative imagination. We sense a timeless serenity and repose in his “Freia the fair one†and are swept into the charged drama as “Fasolt suddenly seizes Freia and drags her to one side with Fafner.†We enter the mystical realm of heavenly despair in “The Gods grow wan and aged at the loss of Freia†and cringe at the gnarled suffering we witness in “Mime howling.†And how can we ever forget the haunting portrait of the horde of enslaved “Nibelungs laden with gold and silver treasure†as with tortured anguished faces they hoist their bounty The range of human and heroic emotion conveyed within these 64 extraordinary illustrations graphically invokes the genius of Wagner’s literary masterpiece and demonstrates once again Rackham’s preeminence in the realm of illustration.
