Music was central to everyday life and expression in late Georgian
Britain, and this interdisciplinary study looks at its impact on
Romantic literature. Focusing on the public fascination with
virtuoso performance, Gillen D'Arcy Wood documents a struggle
between sober 'literary' virtue and luxurious, effeminate
virtuosity that staged deep anxieties over class, cosmopolitanism,
machine technology, and the professionalization of culture. A
remarkable synthesis of cultural history and literary criticism,
this book opens new perspectives on key Romantic authors -
including Burney, Wordsworth, Austen and Byron - and their
relationship to definitive debates in late Georgian culture.
