{"product_id":"music-in-the-nachtwachen-paul-davies-9780820415598","title":"Music in the «Nachtwachen»","description":"Bonaventura's \u003ci\u003eNachtwachen\u003c\/i\u003e (1804\/05) has puzzled and troubled critics through its scepticism, nihilism, and scathing irony. By focussing on these aspects, critics have tended to overlook the role of music as a positive value and counterbalance to Bonaventura's mad topsy-turvy world. It is precisely this fascinating and multilayered use of music in the \u003ci\u003eNachtwachen\u003c\/i\u003e that is explored in this book from a variety of different angles and perspectives. The book establishes the central importance of music as a literary metaphor as well as an absolute positive value in the world of the \u003ci\u003eNachtwachen\u003c\/i\u003e. At the same time the book invites us to reconsider Bonaventura's novel in the light of the contemporary Romantic reception of music in German literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820415596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820415598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Paul Davies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241115398399,"sku":"9780820415598","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec3674e4-3394-4853-b67e-2831fd78054b.jpg?v=1772652805","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/music-in-the-nachtwachen-paul-davies-9780820415598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
