While the music lasts
the representation of music in the works of George Sand
by David A. Powell
"While the Music Lasts explores the numerous ways music inhabits the texts of George Sand. Not a repertory of musical references, Powell's study examines the narrative and thematic functions of Sand's musical elements - plot advancement, characterization, thematic development, and ideological investigations. Music also serves, as Powell illustrates, as a vehicle for Sand to probe generic questions concerning the Bildungsroman, fantastic tales, and pastoral novels.
At the same time, Sand's musical referencing techniques afford a culturally based method for looking at French society and the need for a humanist reform, all the while exploring feminist statements, narrative strategies, love plots, and questions of communication, language, and nationhood."--BOOK JACKET.
