Description

This scholarly examination traces the profound connection between music and myth as theorised by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy through three canonical works of modern literature. The study analyses Romain Rolland's Nobel Prize-winning novel Jean-Christophe (1904-12), James Joyce's modernist epic Ulysses (1922), and Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus (1947), juxtaposing Nietzsche's Apollonian and Dionysian conceptions with narrative depictions of music and myth throughout these texts. Josh Torabi's research challenges prevailing scholarly interpretations by demonstrating the continued relevance of The Birth of Tragedy's latter sections, offering fresh insights into how Victorian and modernist authors engaged with Nietzschean philosophy to explore the relationship between musical composition and mythological narrative.

Key Features

Explores the connection between music and myth in Romain Rolland's Jean-Christophe, James Joyce's Ulysses, and Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus.

Applies Nietzsche's Apollonian and Dionysian framework to analyse narrative depictions of music across three modernist and Victorian literary masterpieces.

Challenges conventional scholarly views about The Birth of Tragedy by establishing the importance of its latter sections to modern literary interpretation.

Examines how Nobel Prize-winning and canonical modernist authors engaged with Nietzschean philosophy in their literary works.

Published by Routledge, providing academic-level analysis of music's role in shaping literary modernism and Victorian narrative.
