In a wide-ranging and trenchant series of essays, articles, and documents, \u003ci\u003eCamille Saint-Sa�ns and His World\u003c\/i\u003e deconstructs the multiple realities behind the man and his music. Topics range from intimate glimpses of the private and playful Saint-Sa�ns, to the composer's interest in astronomy and republican politics, his performances of Mozart and Rameau over eight decades, and his extensive travels around the world. This collection also analyzes the role he played in various musical societies and his complicated relationship with such composers as Liszt, Massenet, Wagner, and Ravel. Featuring the best contemporary scholarship on this crucial, formative period in French music, \u003ci\u003eCamille Saint-Sa�ns and His World\u003c\/i\u003e restores the composer to his vital role as innovator and curator of Western music. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors are Byron Adams, Leon Botstein, Jean-Christophe Branger, Michel Duchesneau, Katharine Ellis, Annegret Fauser, Yves G�rard, Dana Gooley, Carolyn Guzski, Carol Hess, D.
