Opis

Mozart in Anglophone Cultures brings together papers given at the 15th Salzburg Annual Conference on English Literature and Culture held in 2006 to commemorate Mozart s 250th birthday. The volume concentrates in particular on the reception of Mozart and his work in English literature and film, on English translations and adaptations of Mozart s operas and songs, on the performance history of Mozart s operas on stages in the English-speaking world, and on relationships and influences between Mozart and English composers. Aspects covered in the volume include: Peter Shaffer s Amadeus as historiographic metafiction, the reception of Mozart in Australia, Mozart s works as intertext in James Joyce s Ulysses and Barbara Trapido s Temples of Delight, Mozart s influence on American ballet and W. H. Auden s re-writing of The Magic Flute. In its focus on the creative reception of Mozart rather than on Mozart s oeuvre, this book hopes to show the importance of a living myth in various cultural traditions (Victorian, Modernist and Postmodernist) and, conversely, to reveal Mozart and his own age s mode of listening as being equally embedded in cultural traditions."
