The Oxford Handbook of Sondheim Studies offers a series of
cutting-edge essays on the most important and compelling topics in
the growing field of Sondheim Studies. Focusing on broad groups of
issues relating to the music and the production of Sondheim works,
rather than on biographical questions about the composer himself,
the handbook represents a cross-disciplinary introduction to
comprehending Sondheim in musicological, theatrical, and
socio-cultural terms. This collection of never-before published
essays addresses issues of artistic method and musico-dramaturgical
form, while at the same time offering close readings of individual
shows from a variety of analytical perspectives. The handbook is
arranged into six broad sections: issues of intertextuality and
authorship; Sondheim's pioneering work in developing the non-linear
form of the concept musical; the production history of Sondheim's
work; his writing for film and television; his exploitation and
deployment of a wide range of musical genres; and how
interpretation through key critical lenses (including sociology,
history, and feminist and queer theory) establishes his position in
a broader cultural context.
