- Impetus for the volume grew out of a 2014 study day on Revitalising Early Twentieth-Century German Opera funded by the British Academy and organised by Winters’ fellow editor, Nicholas Attfield, at which Prof. Peter Franklin gave a keynote address. Winters suggested an expanded version of this could make the basis of a good Festschrift for the editors’ doctoral supervisor, Prof. Franklin to mark his retirement from the University of Oxford. At the request of Winters and Attfield, who took equal responsibility for shaping the volume, several of the papers from the day deemed suitable (including Winters’) were expanded and other former students and colleagues of Prof. Franklin were also approached in order to reflect what the editors saw as the breadth of Franklin’s research interests and his pioneering work in problematising the centricity of Schoenbergian modernism. Essays were commissioned from the UK, the US, Canada, Austria, and Ireland and contributors were asked to engage with one of Franklin’s principal research interests: Mahler; music for mass-culture film; Austro-German operatic culture; and modernism in England and France. Each contributor was also asked to create a provocative critical dialogue with Franklin’s work or to continue his legacy by exploring marginalised figures and works, placing them within the context of modern cultural practices. Editing of the twelve chapters was divided evenly between the two editors with both contributing to the shaping of each essay. Winters contributed a single-authored chapter, and c.10% of the Introduction. He also created the index and was responsible for the volume’s style sheet.
