2021 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Incompletion is an essential condition of cultural history from the oldest extant works of art, which are partially erased by time, to the most recent ones, which have yet to be finished. The idea of the fragment became particularly important to Romantic art and continued to hold relevance for various strands of modernist and contemporary aesthetics. The fourteen essays in this volume, based on the 2017 Stockholm conference of the International Association for Word and Music Studies (WMA), for the first time address incompletion in a wide range of literary and musical texts, from Baudelaire and Flaubert through Tolstoy and Henry James to Bachmann, Jelinek and Janet Frame, from Nietzsche and Chopin through Russolo and Puccini to Rihm and Kurtág. Two further essays deal with topical general issues in the field of word and music studies.
