In this thoughtful and engaging study, Sam Halliday reveals the
many roles and forms of sound in modernism. Drawing on a wealth of
texts and thinkers, the book shows the distinctive nature of sonic
cultures in modernity. Arguing that these cultures are not
reducible to sound alone, the book further shows that these
encompass representations of sound in 'other' media: especially
literature; but also, cinema and painting. Figures discussed
include canonical writers such as Joyce, Richardson, and Woolf;
relatively neglected writers such as Henry Roth and Bryher; and a
whole host of musicians, artists, and other commentators, including
Wagner, Schoenberg, Kandinsky, Adorno, and Benjamin. Conceptually
as well as topically diverse, the book engages issues such as city
noise and 'foreign' accents, representations of sound in 'silent'
cinema, the relationship of music to language, and the effects of
technology on sonic production and reception.
