Description
Set against the cultural transformation of nineteenth-century Europe, this sweeping history follows the intertwined lives of a celebrated singer, a renowned writer, and a gifted artist as they navigate a continent increasingly connected by railways, publishing, and the arts. Their relationships and collaborations reveal how music, literature, and visual culture crossed national borders to create a new European identity. Richly researched and vividly told, the book explores cosmopolitanism, artistic exchange, travel, and the tensions between nationalism and international fellowship. It offers an illuminating portrait of the people and networks that helped shape modern European culture.
