The second of two illustrated talks by EDWARD LOCKSPEISER
Wagner's theory of the total wort of art which he called the ' Gesamtkunstwerk' had a far-reaching effect on later artistic developments. In these programmes Edward Lockspeiser Investigates the origin of this theory and shows how it is illustrated in the inter-related spheres of music, literature, and painting in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
