COSMOPOLITANISM AND TRANSATLANTIC CIRCLES IN MU...

Cosmopolitanism and Transatlantic Circles in Music and Literature traces the transatlantic
networks that were constructed between a select group of composers  including Edvard Grieg 
Edward MacDowell  and Percy Grainger  and the writers with whom they shared cosmopolitan
affinities  including Arne Garborg  Hamlin Garland  Madison Grant  and Lathrop Stoddard. Each
overlapping case study surveys the diachronic transmission of cosmopolitanism as well as the
synchronic practices that animated these modernist ideas. Instead of taking a strictly
chronological approach to organization  each chapter offers an examination of the different
layers of identity that expanded and contracted in relation to a mutual interest in Nordic
culture. From the burgeoning universal ambitions around 1900 to the darker racialized discourse
of the 1920s  this study offers a critical analysis of both the idea and practice of
cosmopolitanism in order to expose its common foundations as well as the limits of its
application.
