The Wagner Journal, a new journal (2007), published in London, edited by Barry Millington, is distributed in North America by the Wagner Society of Washington DC, which also sponsors the Journal's Web site. "The Wagner Journal is a new periodical that seeks to examine Wagner and his works from a variety of perspectives -- musicological, historical, literary, philosophical and political -- and to illuminate the unique appeal of this endlessly fascinating composer. The journal aims to bring the questions surrounding the theory and practice of staging and performing Wagner to a wider audience, in that way furthering our understanding of his operas as theatre." ==> Read the transcription of James Bartel's
