    Musical expression in the lieder of Hugo Wolf
    (1996) Tichart, Victor Hugo; Reiner, Stuart
    Gesamtkunstwerk by unifying all the aspects of opera into one holistic creation, so Wolf unified the text, vocal line and piano part of the Lied, bringing it to its zenith in the history of music. Ultimately, though, the aim of this thesis is to assist those performing Wolf's Lieder in gaining an understanding of both individual Lieder and Wolf's style as a whole, enabling them to analy se the Lieder for themselves.

    Nothung up my sleeve : the Wagnerian impulses in James Joyce's Ulysses and A portrait of the artist as a young man
    (1999) McGregor, Jamie Alexander; Brink, André; Cartwright, John; Reiner, Stuart
    The Introduction isolates the particular focus of the dissertation - viz. the importance of the Wagnerian themes and allusions in James Joyce's Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, considering existing studies of the same subject, as well as elucidating the structure and argument of the dissertation as a whole. In Chapters 111-V, the argument focuses on particular themes and characters in the operas that appear to influence Joyce, whether in terms of direct reference or oblique allusion. The focus of each of these three chapters is, respectively, the artist-hero, the father-son relationship and the symbolic role of woman.
