Rufus Hallmark's book explores Robert Schumann's beloved yet
controversial song cycle Frauenliebe und Leben and the poems of
Adelbert von Chamisso on which it is based, setting them in the
context of the challenges and social expectations faced by women in
early nineteenth-century Germany. Hallmark provides the most
extensive English-language study of Chamisso, a poet little known
today outside Germany, including a biographical sketch and excerpts
from his other poetry. He examines a range of poems about women, by
Chamisso and others, and discusses the reception of the poetic and
musical cycles, including illustrated editions, contemporary
reviews, and other musical settings. Based on new studies of
Schumann's manuscript sources and on comparative analyses of his
songs and settings by Carl Loewe, Heinrich Marschner, Franz Lachner
and others, Hallmark provides fresh musical and interpretive
insights into each song.
