Bad Vibrations: The History of the Idea of Music as a Cause of Disease
ISBN: 9781409426424 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Music has been used as a cure for disease since as far back as King David's lyre, but the notion that it might be a serious cause of mental and physical illness was rare until the late eighteenth century. At that time, physicians started to argue that excessive music, or the wrong kind of music, could over-stimulate a vulnerable nervous system, leading to illness, immorality and even death. Since then there have been successive waves of moral panics about supposed epidemics of musical nervousness, caused by everything from Wagner to jazz and rock 'n' roll. It was this medical and critical...

Lifestyle and Medicine in the Enlightenment: The Six Non-Naturals in the Long Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9781032400327 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The biggest challenges in public health today are often related to attitudes, diet and exercise. In many ways, this marks a return to the state of medicine in the eighteenth century, when ideals of healthy living were a much more central part of the European consciousness than they have become since the advent of modern clinical medicine. Enlightenment advice on healthy lifestyle was often still discussed in terms of the six non-naturals – airs and places, food and drink, exercise, excretion and retention, and sleep and emotions. This volume examines what it meant to live healthily in... The biggest challenges in public health today are often related to attitudes, diet and exercise.

Playing the Cello, 1780-1930
ISBN: 9781409438335 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This innovative study of nineteenth-century cellists and cello playing shows how simple concepts of posture, technique and expression changed over time, while acknowledging that many different practices co-existed. By placing an awareness of this diversity at the centre of an historical narrative, George Kennaway has produced a unique cultural history of performance practices. In addition to drawing upon an unusually wide range of source materials - from instructional methods to poetry, novels and film - Kennaway acknowledges the instability and ambiguity of the data that supports...

Music and the Nerves, 1700-1900
ISBN: 9781137339508 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The relationship between music and the nervous system is now the subject of intense interest for scientists and people in the humanities, but this is by no means a new phenomenon. Particularly since the seventeenth century, natural philosophers and music theorists have often prefigured much of the contemporary debate about music and the nervous system. Crucially, music came to be seen less as a microcosm of cosmic order and more as a question of the sensual stimulation of the nervous system. Musical aesthetics has at times rebelled against this materialist approach and asserted a...

In 2017 Susie Kennaway asked her son Guy to kill her. 88 years old, with an older and infirm husband, Susie wanted to avoid sliding into infantilised catatonia.
