Mallarme and Debussy - McCombie, Elizabeth (, Junior Research Fellow, St John's College, Oxford)

Examines the web of similarities and differences between music and poetry using works by Mallarme and Debussy as case studies. Analysing Mallarme's vision of a shared musico-poetic aesthetic, this book derives a set of performative structural motifs, analytical tools that express our experience of the two arts and their middle ground.
