Y. THIS WEEK: the rich fabric of the Middle Ages is reproduced on the cover in the form of a detail from the Wienhausen Embroidery (c. 1310), woven by nuns in a Cistercian nunnery of Hanover, which alternates scenes from the Tristan legend with ornamental escutcheons. Alan C. Wagner, a young radio and television executive, places Wagner's opera in the tradition of Christian redemption drama; Frank J. Warnke sees it as akin rather to the metaphysical poetry of Dante, Donne or Baudelaire. Kathleen O'Donnell Hoover, chairman of the Guild's Memorabilia Committee, reveals a first-hand glimpse of Wagner's trials in winning a hearing for Tristan, while the composer's private life is related to his creations by Naomi Weiss, a former student of the Hungarian Academy of Music who fled her country's revolution and now supports herself and her moi her as a typist in New York. Ann M. Line introduces us to Melot, Ruth Berges to the shifting significance of the love potion. The letter from Berlin was written to Richard E.
