Music criticism in England underwent profound change from the 1880s
to the 1920s. It gave rise to 'New criticism' that aimed to be
rational, impartial and intellectually authoritative. It was a
break from the criticism of old: the work of the opinionated
journalist who wrote descriptive concert reviews with invective,
cliche, bias and bombast. Critics such as Ernest Newman
(1868-1959), John F. Runciman (1866-1916) and Michel D.
Calvocoressi (1877-1944) fostered this new school and wrote
extensively of their aspirations for musical criticism in their own
times and for the future. This book charts the genesis of this new
wave of musical criticism that sought to regulate and reform the
profession of music critic. Alongside the establishment of
principles, training manuals and schools for critics, hundreds of
journal articles and dozens of books were written that encouraged
new criticism, which also had a bearing on scholarly writing in
biography, aesthetics and history. The Regulation and Reform of
Music Criticism in Nineteenth-Century England considers the
influence and advocacy of individual critics and the role that
institutions, such as the Musical Association and the Musical
Times, played in this period of change. The book also explores the
impact that French and German writers had on their English
counterparts, demonstrating the internationalization of critical
thought of the period.
