The Perfect Wagnerite

The Perfect Wagnerite presents a politically charged essay in which George Bernard Shaw critiques social issues such as capitalism, class privilege, and the exploitation of the working class. As a lifelong Socialist and early admirer of Wagner, Shaw celebrates Wagner's "Ring Cycle" for its powerful condemnation of capitalist evils and its musical brilliance. Through this work, Shaw merges his passion for music with his commitment to social reform, offering insights into the intersections of art and politics.
