Knowledge Building in Early Modern English Music is a rich,
interdisciplinary investigation into the role of music and musical
culture in the development of metaphysical thought in late
sixteenth-, early seventeenth-century England. The book considers
how music presented questions about the relationships between the
mind, body, passions, and the soul, drawing out examples of
domestic music that explicitly address topics of human
consciousness, such as dreams, love, and sensing. Early
seventeenth-century metaphysical thought is said to pave the way
for the Enlightenment Self. Yet studies of the music's role in
natural philosophy has been primarily limited to symbolic functions
in philosophical treatises, virtually ignoring music making's
substantial contribution to this watershed period. Contrary to
prevailing narratives, the author shows why music making did not
only reflect impending change in philosophical thought but
contributed to its formation. The book demonstrates how
recreational song such as the English madrigal confronted
assumptions about reality and representation and the role of
dialogue in cultural production, and other ideas linked to changes
in how knowledge was built. Focusing on music by John Dowland,
Martin Peerson, Thomas Weelkes, and William Byrd, this study
revises historiography by reflecting on the experience of music and
how music contributed to the way early modern awareness was shaped.
