Daniel Albright was one of the preeminent scholars of musical and
literary modernism, leaving behind a rich body of work before his
untimely passing. In Music's Monisms, he shows how musical and
literary phenomena alike can be fruitfully investigated through the
lens of monism, a philosophical conviction that does away with the
binary structures we use to make sense of reality. Albright shows
that despite music's many binaries-diatonic vs. chromatic, major
vs. minor, tonal vs. atonal-there is always a larger system at work
that aims to reconcile tension and resolve conflict. Albright
identifies a "radical monism" in the work of modernist poets such
as T. S. Eliot and musical works by Wagner, Debussy, Britten,
Schoenberg, and Stravinsky. Radical monism insists on the
interchangeability, even the sameness, of the basic dichotomies
that govern our thinking and modes of organizing the universe.
Through a series of close readings of musical and literary works,
Albright advances powerful philosophical arguments that not only
shed light on these specific figures but also on aesthetic
experience in general. Music's Monisms is a revelatory work by one
of modernist studies' most distinguished figures.
