Summary "Life of Wagner" by Ludwig Nohl is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and works of the renowned composer Richard Wagner, detailing his formative years, struggles, and artistic evolution. Through Nohl’s examination, readers gain insight into Wagner's profound influence on music and the cultural landscape of his time. At the start of the biography, we learn about Wagner’s early youth, beginning with his birth in Leipzig in 1813 and the tragic loss of his father. Raised by a mother who remarried an actor, Wagner's childhood was steeped in artistic influences. As he navigated his schooling—developing an early passion for poetry and dramatic arts—his inclination towards music emerged, often against the wishes of his family who doubted his talent. The narrative highlights his early experiences that shaped his artistic identity and his determination to pursue a career in music, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his later achievements.
