The Different Faces of Politics in Literature and Music de Mario Vassallo

The Different Faces of Politics in Literature and Music

Editat de Mario Vassallo, Andre P. DeBattista
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 dec 2023
This book highlights the links between politics and governance and the arts. The essays in the volume show how literature and music have challenged those in power risking political censure. In addition, they also try to delineate how patronage has been used for propaganda, or to stir up national fervour. They focus on the tension and symbiosis between the politician and the artist foregrounding how they have always tried to influence, challenge, and, in some cases, undermine one another.
This volume will serve as an indispensable source for researchers and academics in political science, the humanities and performing arts.
