SUMMARY: Seeking Sympathy for Privilege in Webber's Phantom of the Opera
DESCRIPTION:
 This talk reveals why a reincarnation of the tortured 
 nineteenth-century genius resonated with 
 audiences of the 1980s and 90s. It shows 
 that in the aftermath of two decades of assault 
 on straight white masculinity, the Phantom 
 emerges to garner sympathy for his lost prestige. 
 This talk historicizes the Romantic genius 
 archetype and illuminates how it represents 
 a fitting and long-standing refuge for the 
 eccentric Western male.\n\n
