The book explores the intersection of jazz and literature across various historical periods, beginning with its liberating influence on language. Contributions examine the impact of jazz in the context of World War I, highlighting its emergence as a symbol of modernity in European literature. The transition from early jazz forms, such as the Cakewalk and Foxtrot, is analyzed alongside their roles in dance and propaganda. Reactions to early jazz in Vienna are explored, alongside discussions of jazz's revolutionary effect on dance music manuals from 1913-1926. The interwar period is characterized by jazz's influence on German Expressionist women poets and its reflection in cabaret poetry. Notable discussions include jazz's role in Thomas Mann's work and its representation in René Schickele's "Symphonie für Jazz." The rhythm of Austrian literature during this time is examined, as well as the complex reception of jazz in the Viennese cultural scene. Post-1945, the book addresses the presence of American jazz in German poetry, the transnational aspects of jazz in GDR literature, and the relationship between jazz and notable literary figures. The exploration extends to the Beat Generation and contemporary reflections on jazz in poetry and literature across various cultures, including Lithuania.
