| The thesis will focus on the notion of music in selected works by Anthony Burgess. Music was considered to be the model for literature as early as in romanticism, some of the 20th century authors, including Burgess, employ the analogy more precisely than the romantics.
Being himself a classical composer, Burgess often incorporates the music into his works; as Ziolkowski points out, “within his prolific output we can find examples of virtually every form of ‘compositions in writing.’” The thesis will focus on allusions to music, which offers insight to the psychology of characters in some texts and elucidates the context in others, as well as on the structural features of Burgess’ works. Well acquainted with the technique of composing music, Burgess models some of his works on musical forms, or specific compositions and thus adds another layer to the connection between music and literature. Both of the aforementioned methods will be discussed in examination of Burgess’ link to Ludwig van Beethoven. The texts analysed in the thesis will include Napoleon symphony: A Novel in Four Movements (1974), A Clockwork Orange (1962), (Mozart and the Wolf Gang (1992)), and selected stories from Burgess’ short story collection The Devil’s Mode and Other Stories (1989). |
