British Literature and Classical Music explores literary
representations of classical music in early 20th century British
writing. Covering authors ranging from T.S. Eliot and Virginia
Woolf to Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells and D.H. Lawrence, the book
examines literature produced during a period of widely
proliferating philosophical, educational, and performance-oriented
musical activities in both public and private settings. David
Deutsch demonstrates how this proliferation caused classical music
to become an increasingly vital element of British culture and a
vehicle for exploring contentious issues such as social mobility,
sexual freedoms, and international political rivalries. Through the
use of archives of concert programs, cult novels, and letters
written during the First and Second World Wars, the book examines
how authors both celebrated and satirized the musicality of the
lower-middle and working classes, same-sex desiring individuals,
and cosmopolitan promoters of a shared European culture to depict
these groups as valuable members of and - less frequently as
threats to - British life.
