The Routledge Companion to Music and Modern Literature, Paperback / softback Book

The Routledge Companion to Music and Modern Literature Paperback / softback

Edited by Rachael (Edinburgh Napier University, UK) Durkin

Part of the Routledge Music Companions series

Paperback / softback

Description

Modern literature has always been obsessed by music.

It cannot seem to think about itself without obsessing about music. And music has returned the favour. The Routledge Companion to Music and Modern Literature addresses this relationship as a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of word and music studies.

The 37 chapters within consider the partnership through four lenses—the universal, opera and literature, musical and literary forms, and popular music and literature—and touch upon diverse and pertinent themes for our modern times, ranging from misogyny to queerness, racial inequality to the claimed universality of whiteness.

This Companion therefore offers an essential resource for all who try to decode the musico-literary exchange.
