The book is Vagner ISM art and politics in the shadow of music by Alex Ross.
Why people recommend it
Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music by Alex Ross is a sweeping cultural history that examines the massive, polarizing influence of composer Richard Wagner on global art, politics, and culture from the nineteenth century onward. Gilbert Cruz on The Book Review and Tyler Cowen on Conversations with Tyler both enthusiastically recommended the book to their respective audiences at the conclusion of their interview episodes. Gilbert Cruz hosted Alex Ross on The Book Review to discuss the new book, introducing the guest and the overarching themes of art and politics in the shadow of music from a Los Angeles studio. Tyler Cowen also interviewed Ross on Conversations with Tyler, where they explored the central arguments of the text. Cowen noted a particularly striking theme of the book, observing that historical Wagnerism was surprisingly far more diverse in its political and cultural appeal than many contemporary readers typically realize. Throughout these discussions, the podcast hosts emphasized the immense scope of Ross's research and the profound ways in which Wagner's controversial artistic legacy permeated the creative and political movements of subsequent generations, shaping the ideologies and aesthetics of countless writers, philosophers, and political leaders across the modern world.
