Music Writing Literature from Sand via Debussy to Derrida
English

About The Book

Why does poetry appeal to music? Can music be said to communicate as language does? What between music and poetry is it possible to translate? These fundamental questions have remained obstinately difficult despite the recent burgeoning of word and music studies. Peter Dayan contends that the reasons for this difficulty were worked out with extraordinary rigour and consistency in a French literary tradition echoed by composers such as Berlioz and Debussy which stretches from Sand to Derrida. Their writing shows how it is both necessary and futile to look for music in poetry or for poetry in music.
