Undertones of Insurrection: Music, Politics and the Social Sphere in the Modern German Narrative (Texts and Contexts) Book

In the literary analyses that follow, Weiner discusses both obvious connections between music and sociopolitical issues-Hesse's equation of jazz and insurrection in Steppenwolf-and covert ones-the suppression of music in Death in Venice and the use of politically charged musical subtexts in Werfel's Verdi and Schnitzler's Rhapsody.Read More
