In the aftermath of World War I, a sense of impasse and thwarted
promise shaped the political and cultural spheres in Britain.
Writers such as D. H. Lawrence, Hilda Doolittle, T. S. Eliot and
Wyndham Lewis were among the literary figures who responded by
pursuing vividness, autonomy and impersonality in their work. Yet
the extent to which these practices were reflected in ideas about
music from within the same milieu has remained unrecognised.
Uncovering the work of composer-critics who worked alongside these
figures - including Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock), Cecil Gray
and Kaikhosru Sorabji - Sarah Collins traces the shared tendencies
of literary and musical modernisms in interwar Britain. Collins
explores the political investments underpinning these tendencies,
as well as the influence of English Nietzscheanism and related
intellectual currents, arguing that a particular conception of the
self, history, and the public characterised an ethos of 'lateness'
within this milieu.
