About this Item
John F. Runciman. Richard Wagner : composer of operas. London: Geo. Bell, 1913. 427pp. First edition. Thick 8vo., green cloth lettered in gilt. First edition. Includes portraits and music examples. Slight scuffs on front and rear boards, otherwise a fine copy. Inscribed on the title page by the author as a Christmas present to the unnamed daughter of the Cecil Court bookseller George Suckling. Runciman was described by his mentor George Bernard Shaw as "a skilled professional musician and a slashing journalist". James Hunker, in the 'Saturday Review' praised the book for its "swift, brilliant, naked narrative", but it was overshadowed in its time by Shaw's own 'The Perfect Wagnerite'.
