Items related to In Search of Wagner (Verso Modern Classics)
Written in exile from Germany, this potent study of Europe's most controversial composer explodes the frontiers of musical and cultural analysis. Measuring key elements of Wagner's oeuvre with patent musical dexterity, Adorno sheds light on a nineteenth-century bourgeois figure whose operas betray the social gestures and high-culture fantasies that helped plant the seeds of the modern Culture Industry.

Review:
"A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature."--Susan Sontag"An astonishing book, comparable only to the later Wagner tracts by Nietzsche ... essential reading for anyone seriously involved with the composer, and now we can read it thanks to a superior translation by Rodney Livingstone."--"New York Review of Books"
About the Author:
Theodor Adorno was director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt from 1956 until his death in 1969. His works include "In Search of Wagner"; "Aesthetic Theory"; "Negative Dialectics"; and (with Max Horkheimer) "Dialectic of Enlightenment" and "Towards a New Manifesto."
