Richard Wagner's published writings present various topoi to which he returned repeatedly. Often he adopts a historiographic approach in his arguments, and this feature suggested the present study concerning the composer's concepts of history. Wagner's historiographic approach is reflected in his discussions of the Greek influence on music. The contents of his personal libraries, first in Dresden and then in Zurich/Bayreuth, are also considered as further resources for the composer's study of history. Along with these sources, his autobiography, letters, and the extensive diary of his wife Cosima provide further substance for the present discussion. The shifts in Wagner's theories under the influence of Arthur Schopenhauer are also examined as is the composer's eventual realization that much of what he was attempting to do in his own works had already been foreshadowed in the early Italian humanist experiments that led to the birth of opera. Examples from his works, particularly Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, reveal his adoption of traits of various historical style periods in music history in his own compositions. Wagner's reverence for Palestrina and Bach are also highlighted. / text

This study is concerned with the question of the treatment of time in economic theory. It is a clarification of how different interpretations of the concept of time intervene in the process of building economic models and in analysing problems of change. It discusses how various interpretations of the notion of time lead to different forms of Economic Dynamics which are not necessarily compatible with each other. / This perplexing question of time is made concrete by the analysis of the writing of an eminent modern economist, Sir John Hicks. He has been very much concerned with the treatment of time in economic theory. The methods he used to try and deal with time in economic analysis, together with his commentaries on the issue, will serve to illustrate the difficulties involved.
