The advances in Haydn scholarship would have been unthinkable to earlier generations, who honoured the composer more in word than in deed. Haydn Studies deals with many aspects of a composer who is perennially fresh, concentrating principally on matters of reception, style and aesthetics and presenting many interesting readings of the composer's work. Haydn has never played a major role in accounts of cultural history and has never achieved the emblematic status accorded to composers such as Beethoven, Debussy and Stravinsky, in spite of his radical creative agenda: this volume broadens the base of our understanding of the composer.

Since its beginnings, opera has depended on recognition as a central aspect of both plot and theme. Though a standard feature of opera, recognition--a moment of new awareness that brings about a crucial reversal in the action--has been largely neglected in opera studies. In Recognition in Mozart's Operas, musicologist Jessica Waldoff draws on a broad base of critical thought on recognition from Aristotle to Terence Cave to explore the essential role it plays in Mozart's operas. The result is a fresh approach to the familiar question of opera as drama and a persuasive new reading of Mozart's operas.

This study engages in a detailed examination of Kierkegaard’s works of literary and dramatic criticism, including those works directed at interpreting Kierkegaard’s own authorship, with a specific concern for both what Kierkegaard and Kierkegaard’s anonyms and pseudonyms write about the nature and practice of authorship, as well as how the Kierkegaardian authors practice authorship themselves. Moving through five chapters, each devoted to one or more works of Kierkegaard’s criticism, the study develops a new approach to reading Kierkegaard – a new Kierkegaardian hermeneutic – that begins always with the character of the author. This new approach avoids the challenges of critics of biographical criticism, such as Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, by positing the author always as a work of fiction him- or herself, the creation of an unknown and ever anonymous “author of the author”.

Excerpt from Poverina: A Story In this peaceful and primitive valley every one lived by the earth, and loved it as a mother and a nurse. N o manufactories, no industries, small or great, were there to seduce the peasants into the belief that there was work more lucrative than agriculture. Commerce was nothing. A cigar-manufactory and a few silk-weavers afforded some occupation to the most active among the women and young girls but the men who are in haste to grow rich, or to make more money than the soil can furnish, must expatriate themselves. They continually go away to Corsica to cultivate the land at excellent salaries, or to Merica, generally to Montevideo, whence they bring back a little gold and many paroquets and other strange birds but come back they always do to their native valley. There is scarcely an instance of a Lucca peasant establish ing himself permanently in a foreign land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
