Jason Duane Geary

Jason Geary is working on a book that will explore the link between music and the ancient Greek legacy in Germany of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. It will examine, among other things, Mendelssohn's incidental music to Sophocles' Antigone(1841) and Oedipus at Colonus (1845) and also seeks to reassess Wagner's appropriation of the Greeks.
