"The publication of 'The Life of Jesus Critically Considered' aroused a storm of controversy; its revolutionary thesis and content were violently attacked and wrenched out of context. Strauss's principal objective was to explode not only the traditional orthodox view of the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus but also earlier rationalistic views." PMM p. 182. Strauss's first and greatest work a crucial text in the history of biblical studies and of religious scholarship generally. The first consistent systematic application of the then quasi-Hegelian notion of myth to the New Testament and early Christianity offering an epoch-making interpretation of the Christ of the Gospels as the unintentional product of a "mythos" of Messianic expectation already present in ancient Hebrew culture. The book was a scandal which adversely affected Strauss's entire career offending rationalist and orthodox biblical literalists alike Printing and the Mind of Man 300.

Weinmann Strauss p. 18. <br/><br/>"Verve and a fiery spirit lie at the heart of Strauss's compositions. Of his waltzes one contemporary writer colourfully observed: 'In his waltzes a profusion of melodies effervesce and bubble fizz and froth dash and sweep like the five hundred thousand devils in the champagne slipping their bonds and flinging one cork after another into the air'. As a pioneer of the waltz Strauss along with Lanner established the foundations upon which more extended and developed melodic line and ambitious harmony and structure could be built by their successors in the field of dance music."
