Zusammenfassung:This book gathers together essays on the great British composer. These essays opened the door to gay studies in music, reinvigorated the study of Britten's work, and inspired a generation of scholars to imagine "the new musicology." Addressing questions of how an artist's sexual, cultural, and personal identity feeds into specific musical texts, the author examines most of Britten's operas as well as his role in the British cultural establishment of the mid-twentieth century. Some of these essays appear here for the first time. The book develops a complex understanding of Britten's musical achievement and highlights the many ways that the author expanded the borders of his field.
