Wilhelm Richard Geyer Wagner, 1813-1883 Richard Wagner wrote more than 200 articles and books which covered the range of political programs, including anti-Semitism, to theories of opera. Today he is known primarily for his 13 operas, which are famous for portraying "the German spirit" and for influencing our understanding of German history and culture. In his day he was a source of debate and controversy, becoming known as an anarchist and socialist, as a proto-fascist and nationalist, as an anti-Semite and a vegetarian. Wagner's name has been connected to most of the major trends in German history in the 19th and 20th centuries.
