Opis

In The Oxford Handbook of Music and Intellectual Culture in the Nineteenth Century, contributors consider the fascinating and unexpected ways that nineteenth-century writing on music contributed to debates about evolution, the scientific method, psychology, exoticism, gender, and the divide between high and low culture.

Recenzje

Perhaps most crucially, the centering of social and cultural histories of music from an international perspective in a handbook of this scope and status benefits both musicology and history, offering and legitimizing exciting new directions for both.
