Opis

In the first full-length book dedicated to the study of Edouard Manet and music, Therese Dolan explores the influence of Wagner's controversial Tannhäuser on Manet's Music in the Tuileries, widely considered to be the first modernist work of art. Incorporating studies of the major artistic, literary, and musical figures of nineteenth-century France, it represents an important contribution to an understanding of French culture in the third quarter of the nineteenth century.
