Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

-This is not only an exhaustive study of its subject but a consistently intelligent one, characterized by shrewd critical insight, detailed technical knowledge of music as well as of literature, and a flair for the history of ideas. Impeccable scholarship and originality of thought are complemented by an elegant and graceful prose style.- (Professor Edward Alexander, University of Washington)"

Reseña del editor:

From long-haired Jewish composers to young women playing -a little- piano to tone-deaf British concert-goers, Victorian novels are filled with musical characters. Auerbach's fascinating and comprehensive study reveals that Dickens, Thackeray, Hardy, Eliot, and other novelists of -das Land ohne Musik- found music to be a rich source of metaphor."
