Wagner and the Novel Wagnerâs Operas and the European Realist Novel: An exploration of genre

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 81,00 | | Descrizione | This study bridges literature and music at an exciting and controversial point, offering the lover of music and literature and the specialist reader an insight into the relationship between Wagner's operas and the nineteenth century novel, including comparisons with Rigoletto and Der Rosenkavalier in their evolution from other forms. It discusses matters of genre and national tradition, placing Wagner's works in the heritage of the European Enlightenment.Comparisons of Wagner's works with the novel have been fleeting, denoting only their length and complexity. Examining in principle and in detail the proximity of Wagner's themes and techniques to the practices of the Realist novel, this study sheds original light on major issues of Wagner's works and on opera as genre.The book trawls extensively in two research fields. It looks to the established Wagner literature for understandings of the musical procedures which map his works onto the prose fiction, while reading Wagner's operas against the backdrop of the European novel, rather than against German Romantic fiction. It revisits Adorno's music sociology and his seminal study of Wagner, but repositions many elements of his argument. Unusually, this book adopts a critical stance to Nietzsche's view of Wagner. In marked contrast to Nietzsche, the study regards parallels between Wagner and Flaubert as an enrichment of our understanding of Wagner's achievement.The book concludes with a major question of European cultural history: why it is that â in common with Italy, but in marked contrast to France or England â Germany's most representative works in the nineteenth century are operas rather than novels. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

'Relations Stop Nowhere' The Common Literary Foundations of German and American Literature 1830-1917
| Edizione: | Brill, 2007 | | Collana: | Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 105,00 | | Descrizione | This book attempts for the first time a comparative literary history of Germany and the USA in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its material does not come from the familiar overlaps of individual German and American writers, but from the work of the literary historians of the two countries after 1815, when American intellectuals took Germany as a model for their project to create an American national literature. The first part of the book examines fundamental structural affinities between the two literary histories and the common problems these caused, especially in questions of canon, realism, aesthetics and in the marginalization of popular and women's writing. In the second part, significant figures whose work straddle the two literatures â from Sealsfield and Melville, Whitman and Thomas Mann to Nietzsche, Emerson and Bellow â are discussed in detail, and the arguments of the first part are shown in their relevance to understanding major writers. This book is not merely comparative in scope: it shows that only international comparison can explain the course of American literary history in the nineteenth and twentieth century. As recent developments in American Studies explore the multi-cultural and âhybrid' nature of the American tradition, this book offers evidence of the dependencies which linked American and German national literary history. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
