Olivier Messiaen: Texts, Contexts, and Intertexts (1937–1948)
Professor Burton’s approach to nine early works of Olivier Messiaen is not that of a musicologist, but is based on a deep knowledge and understanding of the tradition and writings of French Catholicism and also of the literature of surrealism. He prises open, in any number of unexpected and fascinating ways, the subtexts of Messiaen’s pieces which are often hidden, made up as they are of disjunct fragments from the Bible and theological writings.…
Olivier Messiaen: Texts, Contexts, and Intertext
French Literature scholar Richard Burton takes a wider cultural view of Messiaen's life and work than any previously published, embracing his particular brand of Roman Catholicism, his wide biblical reading and his relationship with other artists such as Frank Martin and Jean Cocteau.
Agape and Eros (II)
Burton here looks at the versions of the Tristan story and the explorations of Amerindian cultures made at this time. In any case, Messiaen’s literary source was in all likelihood Joseph Bédier’s ‘lively and accessible rewriting of the myth in modern French’, rather than Gottfried von Strasburg’s version, followed by Wagner. One of Burton’s main concerns, though, is the question ‘But where in all this is King Mark?’ Messiaen’s apparent refusal to…
Agape and Eros (I)
In this chapter on the two song cycles Poèmes pour Mi and Chants de Terre et de Ciel, the focus is on Messiaen’s musical responses to his first marriage to Claire Delbos, and to the birth of their son Pascal in July 1937. Burton is particularly puzzled by the gradual elimination of Claire from the songs supposedly dedicated to her, which he even categorizes as ‘not Poèmes pour Mi but Poems for Me ...’ Among the topics discussed are the relationsh…

Afro-Creole: Power, Opposition, and Play in the Caribbean
This wide-ranging book explores the origins, development, and character of Afro-Caribbean cultures from the slave period to the present day. Richard D. E. Burton focuses on ways in which African traditions-including those in religion, music, food, dress, and family structure-were transformed by interaction with European and indigenous forces to create the particular cultures of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Haiti. He demonstrates how the resulting Afro-…

Ki moun nou ye?' The idea of difference in contemporary French West Indian thought

Debrouya Pa Peche, Or Il y a Toujours Moyen De Moyenner: Patterns of Opposition in the Fiction of Patrick Chamoiseau
Our stories and storytellers date from the period of slavery and colonialism. Their deepest meanings can be discerned only in reference to this fundamental epoch of French West Indian history. Our storyteller is the spokesman of a fettered, famished people, living in fear and in the various postures of survival. . . . If their ludic function is undeniable, (what more fertile ground for hope than laughter when one must live in a kind of hell?), cr…

Cricket, carnival and street culture in the Caribbean
Taking its inspiration from C.L.R.James's classic Beyond a Boundary, serious discussion of the relationship between cricket and society in the Caribbean has focused on three closely connected issues.1 First, and most straightforwardly, it has dwelt on the way in which the changing racial and class composition of West Indian teams since 1900 (the year of the first West Indian tour to England) has mirrored with almost preternatural precision the ev…
