Summary
How and why did the life and music of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) matter to experimental writers in the early twentieth century? Previous answers to this question have tended to focus on structural analogies between musical works and literary texts, charting the many different ways in which poetry and prose resemble Beethoven's compositions. This text takes a different approach. It focuses on how early twentieth-century writers - chief among them E.M. Forster, Aldous Huxley, Wyndham Lewis, Dorothy Richardson, Rebecca West, and Virginia Woolf - profited from the representational conventions associated in the nineteenth century and beyond with Beethovenian culture.
