How did "voice" become a metaphor for selfhood in the Western
imagination? The Lyric Myth of Voice situates the emergence of an
ideological connection between voice and subjectivity in late
eighteenth-century Italy, where long-standing political anxieties
and new notions of cultural enlightenment collided in the mythical
figure of the lyric poet-singer. Ultimately, music and literature
together shaped the singing voice into a tool for civilizing modern
Italian subjects. Drawing on a range of approaches and frameworks
from historical musicology to gender studies, disability studies,
anthropology, and literary theory, Jessica Gabriel Peritz shows how
this ancient yet modern myth of voice attained interpretable form,
flesh, and sound. The publisher gratefully acknowledges the
generous support of the AMS 75 PAYS Fund of the American
Musicological Society, supported in part by the National Endowment
for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
