Long ignored by scholars in the humanities, sound has just begun to
take its place as an important object of study in the last few
years. Since the late 19th century, there has been a paradigmatic
shift in auditory cultures and practices in European societies.
This change was brought about by modern phenomena such as
urbanization, industrialization and mechanization, the rise of
modern sciences, and of course the emergence of new sound recording
and transmission media. This book contributes to our understanding
of modern European history through the lens of sound by examining
diverse subjects such as performed and recorded music, auditory
technologies like the telephone and stethoscope, and the ambient
noise of the city.
