This book is the first major study that explores the intrinsic
connection between music and myth, as Nietzsche conceived of it in
The Birth of Tragedy (1872), in three great works of modern
literature: Romain Rolland's Nobel Prize winning novel
Jean-Christophe (1904-12), James Joyce's modernist epic Ulysses
(1922), and Thomas Mann's late masterpiece Doctor Faustus (1947).
Juxtaposing Nietzsche's conception of the Apollonian and Dionysian
with narrative depictions of music and myth, Josh Torabi challenges
the common view that the latter half of The Birth of Tragedy is of
secondary importance to the first. Informed by a deep knowledge of
Nietzsche's early aesthetics, the book goes on to offer a fresh and
original perspective on Ulysses and Doctor Faustus, two
world-famous novels that are rarely discussed together, and makes
the case for the significance of Jean-Christophe, which has been
unfairly neglected in the Anglophone world, despite Rolland's
status as a major figure in twentieth-century intellectual and
literary history. This unique study reveals new depths to the work
of our most enduring writers and thinkers.
