Music was an essential aspect of life in eighteenth-century Britain
and plays a crucial role in the literary strategies of Georgian
novels. This book is the first to investigate the literary
representation of music in these works and explores the structural,
dramatic and metaphorical roles of music in novels by authors
ranging from Richardson to Austen. Pierre Dubois explores the
meaning of 'musical scenes' by framing them within contemporary
cultural issues, such as the critique of Italian opera or the
theoretical shift from mimesis to the alleged autonomy and mystery
of music. Focusing upon both eighteenth-century theories of music,
and the way specific musical instruments were perceived in the
collective imagination, Dubois suggests new interpretative
perspectives for a whole range of novels of the Georgian era. This
book will be of interest to a wide readership interested not only
in literature, but also in music and cultural history at large.
