First published in 1990, Don Juan: Variations on a Theme explores
the differing perceptions of this famous character following his
first appearance on the European stage in the early seventeenth
century. The book concentrates on the ways in which perceptions of
Don Juan's character have altered in response to changes in social
and moral values. It examines famous Don Juan works, including
those by Moliere, Byron, Pushkin, Shaw, Anouilh, and Max Frisch,
and relates them to these changing views. It also looks at a
variety of other plays, poems, and novels on this theme, and
highlights the important role of music in Don Juan's history. The
book concludes with a consideration of Don Juan's lasting
popularity and whether it has run its course. Don Juan: Variations
on a Theme will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of
Don Juan, comparative literature, and European literature.
