Description

Explore the profound intersection of music and poetry through a rigorous examination of French literary tradition spanning from Sand to Derrida. This Routledge book investigates why poetry appeals to music, whether music communicates like language, and what can be translated between these two art forms. Peter Dayan traces how composers such as Berlioz and Debussy engaged with these questions, revealing both the necessity and futility of finding music within poetry or poetry within music. The work addresses fundamental questions that have persisted in word and music studies, offering philosophical insight into how literary and musical expression relate. Essential reading for scholars and students of music theory, literary criticism, and aesthetic philosophy.
