Description 1 online resource (x, 256 pages) : illustrations Contents Fin-de-siècle Vienna and the utopian imagination -- Max Klinger, the Gesamtkunstwerk, and the dream of a third kingdom -- "All of Vienna has become secessionistic" : longings of an organization -- Dreams of transcendence, fantasies of control : Gustav Klimt -- The sacred spring of Arnold Schoenberg and Alexander Zemlinsky -- Gustav Mahler and the promise of return Summary This book challenges prevalent understandings of elite artistic culture in fin-de-siècle Vienna by examining creative manifestations of utopian imaginings that ran counter and parallel to the cultural pessimism widely diagnosed in that society. It argues that the music and writings of Richard Wagner played a key role in inspiring such imagining, which either embraced and extended Wagner's own visions or countered them with visions that were wholly new Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Influence.
