Gustav Mahler's music has provoked extreme responses from the public and from experts. This volume examines the broader political, social, and literary changes reflected in Mahler's music. It examines the composer's Jewish identity, and considers contemporary theories of memory, and the theatricality of Mahler's art and fin-de-siecle politics.
