From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of mostly prose works by the German composer Richard Wagner. In addition to writing operas, Wagner was a prolific essayist.

Wagner began compiling his prose and poetry in the 1860s, going on to publish them in ten volumes as the Gesammelte Schriften und Dichtungen (GS&D, Collected Writings and Poems).[1] The first edition was published in Leipzig by Fritzsch, Wagner's main publisher, between 1871 and 1883. The Collected Writings and Poems includes essays, theoretical treatises, poems, published letters, and opera libretti, reflecting Wagner's thoughts on music, art, politics, religion, and philosophy.

The list has been structured and named according to the conventions of William Ashton Ellis, who first translated and published the complete prose works in English in eight volumes between 1892 and 1907. The libretti (poems) of Wagner's completed stage works are not included.
