Zwischen Irritation und Bewunderung schwankten die englischen Reaktionen auf die Streichquartette von Debussy und Ravel, Francks Violinsonate oder die Klavierquartette von Fauré und Chausson. Die vorliegende Studie zeichnet Präsenz und Wirkung dieses Repertoires nach. Französische und englische Komponisten hatten im Londoner Konzertleben lange nur Nebenrollen gespielt. Um die Jahrhundertwende wurden sowohl die Förderung einheimischer Musik als auch internationale Transferbeziehungen intensiviert. Saint-Saëns war schon ein regelmäßiger Gast, nun etablierte sich Fauré zuerst in privaten Kreisen. Die Société des concerts français verbreitete systematisch die jüngste Kammermusik. Parallel propagierten Autoren wie Edwin Evans und G. Jean-Aubry die französische ‚Schule‘ als Vorbild für die englische Musik, die sich gleichermaßen von deutschen Modellen lösen sollte. In einem Umfeld, in dem Kammermusik verstärkt wertgeschätzt wurde, setzten sich Komponisten wie Frank Bridge, John Ireland, Cyril Scott und Eugene Goossens produktiv mit den neuen Klängen auseinander. Durch zeitgenössische Pressekritiken und -diskurse, Archivalien, Briefe und Tagebücher sowie den Blick auf persönliche und kompositorische Konstellationen entsteht ein kultur- und gattungsgeschichtliches Panorama, das die europäische Perspektive auf die Umbruchszeit um 1900 erweitert.

The most thorough account yet available of a revolution that saw the first true agrarian reform in Central America, this book is also a penetrating analysis of the tragic destruction of that revolution. In no other Central American country was U.S. intervention so decisive and so ruinous, charges Piero Gleijeses. Yet he shows that the intervention can be blamed on no single "convenient villain." "Extensively researched and written with conviction and passion, this study analyzes the history and downfall of what seems in retrospect to have been Guatemala's best government, the short-lived regime of Jacobo Arbenz, overthrown in 1954, by a CIA-orchestrated coup."--Foreign Affairs "Piero Gleijeses offers a historical road map that may serve as a guide for future generations. . . . [Readers] will come away with an understanding of the foundation of a great historical tragedy."--Saul Landau, The Progressive "[Gleijeses's] academic rigor does not prevent him from creating an accessible, lucid, almost journalistic account of an episode whose tragic consequences still reverberate."--Paul Kantz, Commonweal

Why populations brutalized in war elect their tormentorsOne of the great puzzles of electoral politics is how parties that commit mass atrocities in war often win the support of victimized populations to establish the postwar political order. Violent Victors traces how parties derived from violent, wartime belligerents successfully campaign as the best providers of future societal peace, attracting votes not just from their core supporters but oftentimes also from the very people they targeted in war.Drawing on more than two years of groundbreaking fieldwork, Sarah Daly combines case studies of victim voters in Latin America with experimental survey evidence and new data on postwar elections around the world. She argues that, contrary to oft-cited fears, postconflict elections do not necessarily give rise to renewed instability or political violence. Daly demonstrates how war-scarred citizens reward belligerent parties for promising peace and security instead of blaming them for war. Yet, in so casting their ballots, voters sacrifice justice, liberal democracy, and social welfare.Proposing actionable interventions that can help to moderate these trade-offs, Violent Victors links war outcomes with democratic outcomes to shed essential new light on political life after war and offers global perspectives on important questions about electoral behavior in the wake of mass violence.
