A groundbreaking look at one of the great song composers of the late Romantic period In the virtual cottage industry of works on fin de siècle Vienna, Hugo Wolf (1860–1903) has been somewhat neglected, perhaps because he was the master of a small genre—the late Romantic lied—and never truly made his mark in the larger forms that command greater public attention. But in the realm of song, he is among the greatest inheritors of Schubert and Schumann, one who was both a traditionalist and a modernist. When the Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick disapprovingly dubbed Wolf “the Richard Wagner of the lied,” he was paying oblique homage to Wolf’s genius as a song composer in the most modern manner. In this book, Susan Youens examines five aspects of Wolf’s compositional art, each exemplifying a different synthesis of traditionalism and modernity and spanning his entire, tragically brief creative life, from his first efforts to his lapse into insanity in 1897. She discusses Wolf’s youthful imitations of Schumann, his genius for comic songs of a kind unlike any of his predecessors, his part in the ballad revival of the late nineteenth century, Wolf in relation to his contemporaries, and his pursuit of operatic fame. Youens looks as closely at the poetic texts as she does the music and includes numerous previously unpublished sketches and fragments, examples from songs now long out of print and difficult to obtain, and citations from Wolf’s vivid letters and other sources of the period.

Although on the surface the three Lupo brothers seem like a trio of handsome Italians gents heading up a popular pizzeria in Pineview, Florida, the brothers in fact are concealing a deep dark secret that conceal their true natures. While charming and good-natured ladies’ men by day, the trio rules the night in the form of mighty and empowered supernatural werewolves. Although determined to keep their secret in a world that fails to understand them, their privacy is at risk when younger brother Randolph—a gorgeous, muscular young man in search of a lifetime love—captures the interest of a paranormal romance author; who, much unlike the snobbish sister who shadows her every move, seems accepting of and even attracted to the mystery of the paranormal. Randolph becomes instantly smitten with the witty rubenesque Wendy, who returns his affections as the two embark on a passionate romance; yet will she be able to accept his wild side?
