Between Polyphony and “Gesamtkunstwerk”
The Musical Novel from 1922 to Present
Abstract
The first part of the article is an analysis of some contemporary novels whose structure recalls musical forms; the author identifies in modernism the causes by which “artist’s novel” became “art novel”, the latter intended as a novel featuring other arts’ formal principles. In the second part, the article explores how this kind of novel renewed during the 20th century and established itself as a means of knowledge alternative to that of the mediatic narrative genres.
