Description
Benjamin Britten's War Requiem is a powerful exploration of the human experience in the face of war and violence. Martha C. Nussbaum examines the composer's musical representations of the body and its relationship to emotion, morality, and justice. Through a close analysis of Britten's works, including his collaborations with poet W.H. Auden and his personal letters, Nussbaum reveals the value and beauty of the human body in the context of war and its aftermath.
