Richard Bell – “The theology of Tristan and Isolde”
Richard Bell

“The Theology of Tristan and Isolde”






Richard H Bell is Professor of Theology at the University of Nottingham, UK, where he previously ran a course entitled ‘Doing theology with Richard Wagner’. Bell argues that despite Wagner’s personal failings, he did actually make a fundamental contribution to theology in his writings as well as in his works. Professor Bell has published books on the theology of the Ring and also of Parsifal. Currently, Professor Bell is working on a further book about the theology of Tristan und Isolde, and he will be sharing with us some of his theological insights into this work.
