2 An early instance of a Strauss reappraisal against the mainstream is found in Susan Sontag's essay, ‘On Camp’ (1964), published in her first collection Against Interpretation and Other Essays (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1966): 275–92. Within Germany and Austria, public interest in Strauss was primarily non-academic or limited to societies such as the Internationale Richard-Strauss-Gesellschaft. The first research team was established, as a regular seminar for lecturers and students, by Reinhold Schlötterer at the University of Munich in 1977.
