Vart Holmqvist vänder sig ser han hur näringslivets ideal och värderingar genomsyrar Handels. ( ) Det här är en kolossalt nyttig bok. Det är sällsynt med täta analyser av högskolans värld. Sverker Sörlin, Dagens Nyheter

Efter sin omtalade studie av Djursholm riktar Mikael Holmqvist nu strålkastarljuset mot Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Handels. Maktelitens skola är den första inträngande analysen av denna institution, där inte bara den ekonomiska makteliten utbildas och fostras, utan även den politiska. Skolan grundades 1909 av det svenska näringslivet och är alltjämt ett privat universitet, men finansieras också av offentliga medel. Handelshögskolan utmärks av sin mycket selektiva antagning, och är det närmaste man kan komma en elitskola på universitetsnivå i Sverige. Vilka studenter är det som kommer in på Handels och hur formas de för framtida maktpositioner? Vilka är förutsättningarna för fri och oberoende forskning och undervisning när näringslivet leder verksamheten? Och hur påverkar denna skola det vidare samhället i en social, moralisk och politisk bemärkelse?

Mikael Holmqvist är docent i sociologi och professor i företagsekonomi vid Stockholms universitet, utbildad i Sverige och Frankrike. Han har varit återkommande gästforskare vid Cornell University och Stanford University i USA. Hans forskning handlar om arbete, makt och organisation. Holmqvists uppmärksammade bok Djursholm. Sveriges ledarsamhälle utkom 2015.

Sällan har väl en bok legat så rätt i tiden som Handels ( ). För berättelsen om Handelshögskolan i Stockholm är just en berättelse om näringslivets växande status i Sverige. Johan Anderberg, Expressen

I sin bok om Handelshögskolan visar företagsekonomen och författaren Mikael Holmqvist hur Sveriges maktnobless formas, fostras och reproduceras. Henrik Malm Lindberg, Uppsala Nya Tidning

Handels är ett övertygande underlag för att slå näven i bordet. Inte vara lika fogliga mot ekonomismens beslutsfattare som de är mot näringslivet. Fler borde hålla ett kritiskt örnöga. Annelie Jordahl, Sydsvenskan

Mikael Holmqvists nya studie ger en fascinerande inblick i det slutna system som Handelshögskolan i Stockholm utgör. Boken är lika kritisk som initierad ( ). Rikard Flyckt, Jönköpingsposten

Holmqvist förmedlar djup kunskap om eliterna skola, med ett kritiskt perspektiv, som jag finner högst sympatiskt. Han klär av skolans inre och yttre verksamheter på ett riktigt avslöjande sätt. Lars-Erik Alkvist, Dala-Demokraten

Holmqvists skildring av den självsäkra, handlingsinriktade lilla högskolan på Sveavägen är rolig på det sätt sociologi ofta är: det är ju förbluffande upplysande, hårresande ibland, att ta del av människors självbild. Per Andersson, SVT Kulturnyheterna

A Poetics of Handel's Operas

What should we consider when thinking about the relationship between an onstage performance and the story the performance tells? A Poetics of Handel's Operas explores this question by analyzing the narratives of Handel's operas in relation to the rich representational fabric of performance used to convey them. Nathan Link notes that in most storytelling genres, the audience can naturally discern between a story and the way that story is represented: with film, for example, the viewer would recognize that a character hears neither her own voiceover nor the ambient music that accompanies it, whereas in discussions of opera, some audiences may be distracted by the seemingly artificial nature of such conventions as characters singing their dialogue. Link proposes that when engaging with opera, distinguishing between the performance we see and hear on the stage and the story represented offers a meaningful approach to engaging with and interpreting the work.Handel's operas are today the most-performed works in the Baroque opera seria tradition. This genre, with its intricate dramaturgy and esoteric conventions, stands to gain much from an investigation into the relationships between the onstage performance and the story to which that performance directs us. In his analysis, Link offers theoretical studies on opera and narratological theories of literature, drama, and film, providing rich engagement with Handel's work and what it conveys about the relationship between text, story, and performance.

Patterns of Creation in his Oratorios and Musical Dramas, 1743-1751

Handel's frequent and extensive alterations to his scores yield much valuable information on musical and extra-musical matters. This book represents the most thorough study to date of Handel's compositional procedures in his English oratorios and musical dramas. David Hurley examines six major works composed between 1743 and 1751 (Semele, Hercules, Belshazzar, Solomon, Susanna, and Jephtha), explores changes in the autograph scores, and, where possible, traces the progress of musical ideas from sketches and/or borrowings through drafts to the first performance version. By studying recurring types of revisions, Hurley identifies Handel's regular musical concerns while also addressing changes arising from specific dramatic situations. The later chapters of the book offer fresh insight into the relationship between music and text, evaluating for the first time the role of word painting in Handel's compositional process and furthering our knowledge about Handel's interactions with librettists and singers during the oratorio years.

Handel's Israelite Oratorio Libretti

Sacred Drama and Biblical Exegesis

Handel's Israelite oratorios are today little known among non-specialists, but in their own day they were unique, pioneering and extremely popular. Dating from the period 1732-1752, they combine the musical conventions of Italian opera with dramatic plots in English that are adaptations of Old Testament narratives. They constitute a form of biblical interpretation, but to date, there has been no thoroughgoing study of the theological ideas or the attitudes towards the biblical text that might be conveyed in the oratorios' libretti. This book aims to fill that gap from an interdisciplinary perspective. Combining the insights of present-day biblical studies with those of Handelian studies, Deborah W. Rooke examines the libretti of ten oratorios - Esther, Deborah, Athalia, Saul, Samson, Joseph and his Brethren, Judas Macchabaeus, Solomon, Susanna and Jephtha - and evaluates the relationship between each libretto and the biblical story on which it is based. Rooke comments on each biblical text from a modern scholarly perspective, and then compares the modern interpretation with the version of the biblical narrative that appears in the relevant libretto. Where the libretto is based on a prior dramatic or literary adaptation of the biblical narrative, she also discusses the prior adaptation and how it relates to both the biblical text and the corresponding oratorio libretto. In this way the distinctive nuances of the oratorio libretti are highlighted, and each libretto is then analysed and interpreted in the light of eighteenth-century religion, scholarship, culture and politics. The result is a fascinating exploration not only of the oratorio libretti but also of how culture and context determines the nature of biblical interpretation.

In this wide-ranging and challenging book, Ruth Smith shows that the words to Handel's oratorios reflect the events and ideas of their time and have far greater meaning than has hitherto been realized. She explores literature, music, aesthetics, politics and religion to reveal Handel's works as conduits for eighteenth-century thought and sensibility. She provides a full picure of Handel's librettists and shows how their oratorio texts express key moral-political preoccupations and engage with contemporary ideological debate. British identity, the need for national unity, the conduct of war, the role of government, the authority of the Bible, the purpose of literature, the effect of art - these and many more concerns are addressed in the librettos. The book thus enriches our understanding of Handel, his times, and the relationships between music and its intellectual contexts.
