Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Published in 1992. This is a revised enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W. S Gilbert but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life with a knighthood in 1883 is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth 1992 and incorporates music examples. | Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

The study compares three Bosnian authors with three European titans: The poet Mak Dizdar to Homer the novelist Meša Selimović to Fyodor Dostoevsky and the novelist Ivo Andrić to Leo Tolstoy. The purpose is to move the appreciation of the writing of the most important Bosnian writers of the 20th century closer to the European literary community and to the wholeness of the literary phenomenon. Secondary literature on the Bosnian authors is too narrow focusing on their ethnic heritages and the Balkan milieu in which they write and missing something essential to a critical appreciation of their works. The study creates not only affinities but more importantly amitiés between the authors. The discipline of comparative literature reveals what is missing in the secondary literature namely a vision of the literary universe inclusive and comprehensive. | Bosnian Authors in a European Window A Comparative Study

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

This title was first published in 2003. This work provides a clearer understanding of the EU's approach towards security in the Mediterranean. After examining the EU's interests and the potential threats to security in the region it analyzes EU security policy towards the region as a whole through the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and towards all disputes and conflicts in the area. It recommends opening up the European Security and Defence Policy to Mediterranean participation in order to establish a deep and equitable security partnership between both shores. The book argues that this way the EU could implement its innovative comprehensive and co-operative approach to security. Rather than focusing on the military aspect alone this approach takes into account all dimensions of security (political socio-economic cultural and ecological) and is based on partnership rather than confrontation. It therefore contrasts quite sharply with the policies advocated in the US National Security Strategy. | Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership
