Anglo-German Music and Politics during the First World War - Detailseite

• To provide a detailed understanding of how different types of musical productions – symphonic music, operatic music, chamber music, music hall songs, folk music, and church music – contributed to the British and German war efforts during the First World War, and how they fostered national identity in war-time societies
• To analyse the complex relationship between war, propaganda, music, and the state in a comparative context
• To introduce two new approaches to modern history, namely transnational history and comparative history, and how these methods enhance the capacity in studying the entanglements between countries
• To examine how politicians and the monarchies of both countries attempted to mobilise musical productions to support their war efforts, and to review the importance and effectiveness of propaganda and censorship
• To investigate the ways in which the First World War was essentially a clash of political, social, and musical cultures between these two countries
