Music was central to everyday life and expression in late Georgian
Britain, and this is the first interdisciplinary study of 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."
