Tolkien and Wagner: The Ring and Der Ring

Tolkien and Wagner: The Ring and Der Ring is a comparison of the creations of J.R.R. Tolkien and Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883), a German Romantic-era composer who, like Tolkien, engaged with Norse legend in many of his works, more than any other opera composer of his time.
Written by Christopher MacLachlan, the study is a caveat to Tolkien's rejectionThe Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 229 (to Allen & Unwin publishers) of any meaningful resemblance between his own works and Wagner's operas. The title refers to Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
It was published in 2012 as the twenty-fourth volume of the Cormarë Series.
