But Morris loathed Wagner’s operas, felt that they trivialized the great legends on which they were based—he hated opera in general—while Fortuny was a great admirer. Both men believed in the close connection between labor and art, that pleasure in labor was essential to produce significant art. The so-called “lesser arts” were as important as paintings and sculptures in terms of their artistic accomplishments and centrality to life. In her discussion of these two splendid figures we are forcefully reminded of the richness of their achievements. This is a highly personal disquisition, almost meditation, on two designers and artists of genius (although Morris hated that term). One is grateful for A. S. Byatt’s intelligent pairing of William Morris and Mariano Fortuny.","PeriodicalId":42862,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERATURE IN TRANSITION 1880-1920","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44921728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why did it become so particularly famous? Supposing that its fame is no more than it deserves, the question might be approached from another direction: why is it so good? How persuasively can its strange success be explained? The inquiry is therefore a matter of literary history, insofar as it asks how the poem took shape, and how it found its place in the English lyrical tradition; but it is also a matter of literary criticism, in the most fundamental sense, insofar as it wants to discover and articulate, as precisely as possible, how the poem actually works to produce its very unusual and memorable effects.","PeriodicalId":42862,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERATURE IN TRANSITION 1880-1920","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67573223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes music in A Room with a View and Howards End to explore the presence of receding nineteenth- and emerging twentieth-century approaches to music. The different and contradictory ways music is presented can be understood as competing notions of what music is and means. This discussion uses T. W. Adorno’s writing on Beethoven and Mahler to analyze the different guises in which music appears in Forster’s novels to show that music is a site of conflict. Residues of nineteenth-century aestheticism are contained in the depictions of “sublime” music, while at other times music is shown to be a product of existing material conditions.","PeriodicalId":42862,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERATURE IN TRANSITION 1880-1920","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66204358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not well known now; there are no critical editions3 and it has received virtually no critical attention; only one collection of war poetry, Never Such Innocence, anthologises passages from it, describing it as “one of the great neglected classics of the war ... its gentle mockery, its warmth and sympathy, and its ability to produce flashes of sharp savagery make it unique.”4 This article explores Rutter’s poem to put it into the context of his war experiences, to investigate possible reasons why it has been sidelined in the discourse of Great War poetry, and to identify why it should now be reconsidered as a meaningful poetic commentary on the realities of the Great War.","PeriodicalId":42862,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERATURE IN TRANSITION 1880-1920","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66305834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
