Rezensionen
'...[an] insightful addition to studies of the relationship between music and literature...' Forum for Modern Languages '... this challenging book marks a significant contribution to work on both the links between music and literature, and the paradoxes and complexities of French literary thought of the last 150 years.' Modern Language Review 'This is a book to which I am sure that I will return to repeatedly. I have read it cover to cover twice now, both times enjoying it differently and finding more to marvel at... Peter Dayan is clearly an author who cares deeply about words, both for what they mean and for how they sound and read.' Music and Letters
