This collection reveals the variety of literary forms and visual
media through which travel records were conveyed in the long
nineteenth century, bringing together a group of leading
researchers from a range of disciplines to explore the relationship
between travel writing, visual representation and formal
innovation.
This volume brings together new approaches to music history to
reveal the interdependence of music and religion in
nineteenth-century culture. As composers and performers drew
inspiration from the Bible and new historical sciences called into
question the historicity of Scripture, controversies raged over the
performance, publication and censorship of old and new musical
forms. From oratorio to opera, from parlour song to pantomime, and
from hymn to broadside, nineteenth-century Britons continually
encountered elements of the biblical past in song. Both elite and
popular music came to play a significant role in the formation,
regulation and contestation of religious and cultural identity and
were used to address questions of class, nation and race, leading
to the beginnings of ethnomusicology. This richly interdisciplinary
volume brings together musicologists, historians, literary and art
historians and theologians to reveal points of intersection between
music, religion and cultural history.
