Music of the Twentieth Century: A Study of Its Elements and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Leeuw, Ton / De Groot, Rokus, PUBLISHER: Amsterdam University Press, Ton de Leeuw was a truly groundbreaking composer. As evidenced by his pioneering study of compositional methods that melded Eastern traditional music with Western musical theory, he had a profound understanding of the complex and often divisive history of twentieth-century music. Now his renowned chronicle "Music of the Twentieth Century" is offered here in a newly revised English-language edition. "Music of the Twentieth Century" goes beyond a historical survey with its lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles, and terminologies of twentieth-century music. De Leeuw draws on his experience as a composer, teacher, and music scholar of non-European music traditions, including Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese music, to examine how musical innovations that developed during the twentieth century transformed musical theory, composition, and scholarly thought around the globe.

The Unwanted: European Refugees in the Twentieth Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Marrus, Michael R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Vast refugee movements signify hundreds of thousands of people homeless and in despair. For most of our own century, Europe saw the greatest tide of uprooted humanity, with millions of people torn loose from their homes and forced to flee abroad. The Unwanted presents the first comprehensive picture of the astounding dimension of the refugee problem in twentieth century Europe. While a considerable portion of the book is devoted to the dislocation of the Nazi era, the volume covers everything from the late nineteenth century to the present, encompassing the Armenian refugees, the Spanish Civil War emigres, the Cold War refugees in flight from Soviet states and much more. Marrus argues that these huge refugee inundations represented a terrible new page in human history, presaging what we see today in parts of the Third World.

The author discusses the effects of modern European colonization in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East; the changes that occurred in Europe's economic relationship with the rest of the world in the twentieth century; and the current process of decolonization. In the final chapter, the overall importance of Euorpean imperialism in the workd history is assessed.

The Short Story: The Reality of Artifice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: May, Charles E., PUBLISHER: Routledge, The short story is one of the most difficult types of prose to write and one of the most pleasurable to read. From Boccaccio's Decameron to The Collected Stories of Reynolds Price, Charles May gives us an understanding of the history and structure of this demanding form of fiction. Beginning with a general history of the genre, he moves on to focus on the nineteenth-century when the modern short story began to come into focus. From there he moves on to later nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century formalism and finally to the modern renaissance of the form that shows no signs of abating. A chronology of significant events, works and figures from the genre's history, notes and references and an extensive bibliographic essay with recommended reading round out the volume.
