This book is an interdisciplinary reader on the Faust theme in
literature and music from the Reformation to the present. Essays by
Faust scholars set the texts in context. Peter Werres introduces
the collection with The Changing Faces of Dr. Faustus. Osman
Durrani and Gerald Strauss discuss contexts of the Faust Book,
given in the English translation The Historie of the Damnable Life
and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus. David Wootton compares
Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and the English Faust Book. Klaus L.
Berghahn's analysis of transformations of the theme and
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century performance announcements
contextualize the popular Puppet-Play of Doctor Faust. Works of
Faustian music include the ballad The Just Judgment of God shew'd
upon Dr. John Faustus, Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust, and
Gounod's Faust. Essays by Henry Bacon and Steven R. Cerf engage the
Faust theme in Romantic music and twentieth-century opera. Osman
Durrani introduces 19th-Century American Fausts, represented by
Hawthorne's The Birthmark, and excerpts from Ethan Brand and
Melville's Moby Dick. Faust themes in the 20th and 21st centuries
are represented by Valery's My Faust, Shapiro's The Progress of
Faust, Osman Durrani's overview of Faust globalized, and Paul M.
Malone's work on the Faust theme in rock opera. A reading list is
included.
