Besides his activity as a composer and a librettist Wagner wrote an
  astonishing number of books, articles and poems: the list published in 
  the 'Wagner Handbook' contains about 240 titles.  There are a number of
  minor writings that are not included in that list, however, so the total
  is probably over 300. The literary spectrum ranges from aesthetic theory 
  to political speeches.
