Throughout the long nineteenth-century the sounds of liberty
resonated across the Anglophone world. Focusing on radicals and
reformers committed to the struggle for a better future, this book
explores the role of music in the transmission of political culture
over time and distance. Following in the footsteps of relentlessly
travelling activists - women and men - it brings to light the
importance of music making in the lived experience of politics. It
shows how music encouraged, unified, divided, consoled, reminded,
inspired and, at times, oppressed. The book examines iconic songs;
the sound of music as radicals and reformers were marching,
electioneering, celebrating, commemorating as well as striking,
rioting and rebelling; and it listens within the walls of a range
of associations where it was a part of a way of life, inspiring,
nurturing, though at times restrictive. It provides an opportunity
to hear history as it happened. -- .
