Or thatTristan's reasons for carrying off Isolde are clear to him fromMarke's account? Without these incidents the whole story isunintelligible, but with Wagner in his then mood they counted fornothing in the flood of emotional material. It was in _DieMeistersinger_ that Wagner found the final equation between impulseand action, and the public has again judged rightly in placing thatwork first among all his dramatic compositions. But the musician andthe philosopher will always turn to _Tristan_.... There are four principal epochs in which the drama has been aflourishing reality in Europe. They are: 1. In Athens in the fifthcentury B. C. 2. In Elizabethan England. 3. In Spain in the seventeenthcentury. 4. In France under Louis XIV. Of the influence of the Elizabethan drama upon the Wagnerian drama itis difficult to speak to any good purpose. Shakespeare is the commonheritage of all German dramatists, Wagner as well as others, and it isnot too much to say that the enthusiasm for Shakespeare which begantowards the end of the eighteenth century was the stimulus whichroused the German nation to create a drama of its own.
