What reading level is Richard Wagner the Man And His Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A literal translation, word for word, in the short and broken metres of the original, is not only unsatisfactory, but unacceptable to general English readers, since so much is lost by the ab- sence of scenery, action, and interpreting music. The usual libretto translations of the operas, made under the hampering condition of fitting the English words to musical accents, are ut- terly inadequate from the literary standpoint. They constantly over or under emphasize, and misinterpret the spirit of... the original. The only alternative is to present the dramas in adequate 78 literary form, faithful to Wagner's text, and Cl^C ^Bteat faithful as well to the spirit of the music, seen- ^n^xi^ ery, and action, in the literary form already nrN|.^, Y^^^ domesticated and most acceptable to English ^*'^*"^" readers, — the natural dramatic narrative form used in Tennyson's Idylls of the King. This has been done in the translations and interpreta- tions of Wagner's eleven great music-dramas in the volumes of this series, after years of criti- cal study at Berlin and Oxford.
