Phrase and Subject Studies in Literature and Music

The confluence between music and literature, long hymned as sister arts, is a newly burgeoning field of critical inquiry. This innovative collection of interdisciplinary essays provides a valuable introduction to the field, mapping the contours of recent research and investigating the mutual aesthetic influence of the two arts and their common historical ground. The examination of literary works using music as an analogy for literary composition and agent of cultural value, and the consideration of musical works whose structure is derived from literary models will excite the interest of both professional scholars and students in the fields of musicology, literary studies and modern European languages.Samuels, Robert is the author of 'Phrase and Subject Studies in Literature and Music', published 2007 under ISBN 9781904713074 and ISBN 1904713076.
