This engaging book explores the dynamic relationship between
evolutionary science and musical culture in Victorian Britain,
drawing upon a wealth of popular scientific and musical literature
to contextualize evolutionary theories of the Darwinian and
non-Darwinian revolutions. Bennett Zon uses musical culture to
question the hegemonic role ascribed to Darwin by later thinkers,
and interrogates the conceptual premise of modern debates in
evolutionary musicology. Structured around the Great Chain of
Being, chapters are organized by discipline in successively
ascending order according to their object of study, from zoology
and the study of animal music to theology and the music of God.
Evolution and Victorian Musical Culture takes a non-Darwinian
approach to the interpretation of Victorian scientific and musical
interrelationships, debunking the idea that the arts had little
influence on contemporary scientific ideas and, by probing the
origins of musical interdisciplinarity, the volume shows how music
helped ideas about evolution to evolve.
