...studies offices became frenetic as the pamphlet grew into a paperback. From the students who made an index by using three-by-five cards to the faculty members who contributed essays, the book inspired the most wonderful sort of communal effort. Professor Caldwell Titcomb ’47, the musicologist and theater critic, soon joined us as a co-editor. Next, we sought the expert guidance of the late DuBois Professor of History and of Afro-American Studies Nathan I. Huggins, who, with Ewart G.

The result is a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival...
