  • Making Light

    Haydn, Musical Camp, and the Long Shadow of German Idealism

    by Raymond Knapp ...
    In Making Light Raymond Knapp traces the musical legacy of German Idealism as it led to the declining prestige of composers such as Haydn while influencing the development of American popular music in the nineteenth century.

  • The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity

    by Raymond Knapp ...
    The American musical has long provided an important vehicle through which writers, performers, and audiences reimagine who they are and how they might best interact with the world around them. Musicals are especially good at this because they provide not only an opportunity for us to enact dramatic versions of alternative identities, but also the material for performing such alternatives in the ...

    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    Issues of identity have always been central to the American musical in all its guises.

    An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 2

    Edited by Raymond Knapp, Mitchell Morris, Stacy Wolf ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    For the past several years, the American musical has continued to thrive by reflecting and shaping cultural values and social norms, and even commenting on politics, whether directly and on a national scale (Hamilton) or somewhat more obliquely and on a more intimate scale (Fun Home).

  • Histories of the Musical

    An Oxford Handbook of the American Musical, Volume 1

    Edited by Raymond Knapp, Mitchell Morris, Stacy Wolf ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    The American musical is a paradox. On stage or screen, musicals at once hold a dominant and a contested place in the worlds of entertainment, art, and scholarship. Born from a mélange of performance forms that included opera and operetta, vaudeville and burlesque, minstrelsy and jazz, musicals have always sought to amuse more than instruct, and to make money more than make political change. In ... Read more
