| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index A Knight at the Opera examines the remarkable and unknown role that the medieval legend (and Wagner opera) Tannhauser played in Jewish cultural life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book analyzes how three of the greatest Jewish thinkers of that era, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Herzl, and I.L. Peretz, used this central myth of Germany to strengthen Jewish culture and to attack anti-Semitism. In the original medieval myth, a Christian knight lives in sin with the seductive pagan goddess Venus in the Venusberg. He escapes her clutches and makes his way to Rome to seek absolution from the Pope. The Pope does not pardon Tannhuser and he returns to the Venusberg. During the course of A Knight at the Opera, readers will see how Tannhuser evolves from a medieval knight, to Heine?s German scoundrel in early modern Europe, to Wagner?s idealized German male, and finally to Peretz?s pious Jewish scholar in the Land of Israel. Venus herself also undergoes major changes from a pagan goddess, to a lusty housewife, to an overbearing Jewish mother. The book also discusses how the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was so inspired by Wagner?s opera that he wrote The Jewish State while attending performances of it, and he even had the Second Zionist Congress open to the music of Tannhauser?s overture. A Knight at the Opera uses Tannhauser as a way to examine the changing relationship between Jews and the broader world during the advent of the modern era, and to question if any art, even that of a prominent anti-Semite, should be considered taboo |

Purdue University Press ©2011 1 Online-Ressource (ix, 147 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Shofar supplements in Jewish studies Includes bibliographical references and index A Knight at the Opera examines the remarkable and unknown role that the medieval legend (and Wagner opera) Tannhauser played in Jewish cultural life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book analyzes how three of the greatest Jewish thinkers of that era, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Herzl, and I.L. Peretz, used this central myth of Germany to strengthen Jewish culture and to attack anti-Semitism. In the original medieval myth, a Christian knight lives in sin with the seductive pagan goddess Venus in the Venusberg. He escapes her clutches and makes his way to Rome to seek absolution from the Pope. The Pope does not pardon Tannhuser and he returns to the Venusberg. During the course of A Knight at the Opera, readers will see how Tannhuser evolves from a medieval knight, to Heine?s German scoundrel in early modern Europe, to Wagner?s idealized German male, and finally to Peretz?s pious Jewish scholar in the Land of Israel. Venus herself also undergoes major changes from a pagan goddess, to a lusty housewife, to an overbearing Jewish mother. The book also discusses how the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was so inspired by Wagner?s opera that he wrote The Jewish State while attending performances of it, and he even had the Second Zionist Congress open to the music of Tannhauser?s overture. A Knight at the Opera uses Tannhauser as a way to examine the changing relationship between Jews and the broader world during the advent of the modern era, and to question if any art, even that of a prominent anti-Semite, should be considered taboo Wagner, Richard / 1813-1883 Tannhäuser Heine, Heinrich / 1797-1856 Herzl, Theodor / 1860-1904 Peretz, Isaac Leib / 1851 or 1852-1915 Heine, Heinrich / 1797-1856 fast Herzl, Theodor / 1860-1904 fast Peretz, Isaac Leib / 1851 or 1852-1915 fast Tannhäuser fast Wagner, Richard 1813-1883 Tannhäuser Heine, Heinrich 1797-1856 Herzl, Theodor 1860-1904 Peretz, Isaac Leib 1851 or 1852-1915 Wagner, Richard 1813-1883 (DE-588)118594117 gnd rswk-swf Heine, Heinrich 1797-1856 (DE-588)118548018 gnd rswk-swf Herzl, Theodor 1860-1904 (DE-588)118550241 gnd rswk-swf Peretz, Isaac Leib 1852-1915 (DE-588)119010046 gnd rswk-swf Tannhäuser Mittelhochdeutsches Lied (DE-588)4184416-6 gnd rswk-swf LITERARY CRITICISM / European / German bisacsh RELIGION / Judaism / History bisacsh Tannhäuser (Wagner, Richard) fast LITERARY CRITICISM / Jewish bisacsh Geschichte Judentum Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Tannhäuser Mittelhochdeutsches Lied (DE-588)4184416-6 u Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s Heine, Heinrich 1797-1856 (DE-588)118548018 p Wagner, Richard 1813-1883 (DE-588)118594117 p Herzl, Theodor 1860-1904 (DE-588)118550241 p Peretz, Isaac Leib 1852-1915 (DE-588)119010046 p 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=493415 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
