Classical Music and Literature
Laura Marcus argues in The Tenth Muse that literary modernism took on filmic devices. This chapter argues that it did the same with music. Newly conscious of forms, languages, systems, and somatic effects, modernist writers turned to music, particularly Wagner, as a paradigm of artistic expression. Wagner reappears in writing â especially by Joyce, Woolf, Eliot and Ford â that eschewed traditional narrative arcs and literary realism, attempting to re-interpret and re-represent human experience with attention to form and style. Reading Woolfâs Mrs Dalloway informed by Wagnerâs conception of the leitmotif as an affective, temporal device, and taking into account what Tim Armstrong calls the modernist âpreoccupation with the non-linear nature of human timeâ , shows how Woolfâs characters are constructed by a complex of affects, contexts, and memories
