Description: The Weimar Republic is often seen as an era of progress for the arts, but strands of pessimism and conservatism also developed rapidly. In this cultural atmosphere, music and musical scholarship could provide forms of protest and resistance to modernity. Attfield's concentration on continuity challenges the received historiography of this period.
Synopsis: This book challenges commonplace conceptions of musical conservatism during Germany's Weimar Republic (1918-1933). Its primary goal is to offer scrutiny of uncritical links often made by musicologists and historians between musical conservatism and political conservatism of the era. It does so through a critical and nuanced application of the term 'conservative revolution', as used throughout the Weimar era and popularised in its historiography after 1945.

The first two studies address Thomas Mann and his relationship with Hans Pfitzner in the afterma
