Some writers such as Bryan Magee have sought to make a qualified defense of Wagner's originality of thought in Das Judenthum, despite acknowledging its malevolence.Magee, 1988, pp. 17–29 However, other scholars argue a more comprehensive consideration of the essay's contents weakens his argument.Rose, 1992, pp. 78–89 Music historians have written to debunk the anti-Jewish thesis and arguments appearing in Wagner's essay.Conway (2012), p.9.
