Despite its popular conflation with the work of Richard Wagner, Gesamtkunstwerk’s lineage and legacies extend well beyond German Romanticism, as this wide-ranging collection demonstrates. In eleven compact chapters, scholars from a variety of disciplines trace the idea’s evolution in German-speaking Europe, from its foundations in the early nineteenth century to its manifold articulations and reimaginings in the twentieth century and beyond, providing an uncommonly broad perspective on a distinctly modern cultural form.Spektrum (New York, N.Y.) ;Volume 12.Arts, GermanPhilosophySenses and sensation in artArts, GermanPhilosophy.Senses and sensation in art.709.43Imhoof David Michael1970-Menninger Margaret EleanorSteinhoff Anthony J.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819881903321The total work of art4116095UNINA
