Publisher Synopsis
" Shakespreare and Music is about afterlives, in quotations, borrowings, citations, adaptations, all of it after Shakespeare's own lifetime. It is also about reception and interpretation, re-imagining, appropriation, in Verdi of course, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, and then on contemporary films, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn. This is at once a learned book, an original contribution to learning, and a story that lovers of Shakespeare and music will enjoy and profit from. It is a real success: gracefully written, elegant, intelligent, witty." David Bevington, University of Chicago Read more...
