In this book, Sarah Cash examines the intersection of music and
temporality in British literature of the long nineteenth century.
The sound spaces created at these intersections function as
antimimetic resistance to hegemonic structures. Through its
temporal multiplicity, music resonates in excess of linear time,
revealing a metaphoric soundedness in the text that subverts reader
expectation and reveals how seemingly realist nineteenth-century
novels transgress the limitations of their classic narratological
structures. In even the most apparently "realist" texts, the most
extravagant, excessive, and hyperbolic elements exceed the bounds
of what we often consider real, disrupting mimetic bias. Cash
argues that music offers the most dynamic way to expose this vexed
temporality in the text. Through scholarly intervention a
disruption of historic classifications show that Victorians are
heirs of Romanticism's musical ideals, including the power of music
to penetrate and transform space and time and the permanence of
sound as it reverberates beyond human perception. Scholars of
nineteenth-century literature, temporality, and gender studies will
find this book of particular interest.

For the first time, explore John Singer Sargent's fascination with
Spain as seen in stunning landscapes, architectural views, figure
studies, and scenes of everyday life American artist John Singer
Sargent (1856-1925) experienced Spain, including the picturesque
island of Majorca, as a source of rejuvenation and inspiration.
Sargent and Spain features scores of the artist's dazzling
watercolors, oil paintings, and drawings, from landscapes and
seascapes to architectural studies, scenes of everyday life, and
sympathetic portraits of the Roma and other local people he
encountered. Immersing himself in the country's rich culture, he
studied Spanish masters old and new, lavishing particular attention
on works by Diego Velazquez in the Prado. He rendered the
distinctive architecture of the Alhambra as well as other palaces
and churches, and he captured lively scenes of ports and villages.
Intrigued by Spanish dance and music, Sargent created dynamic views
of flamenco and the famous dancer La Carmencita. A map and an
illustrated chronology document the artist's seven trips to and
travels through Spain. This handsome book showcases, for the first
time, Sargent's captivation with Spain and the remarkable works of
art now associated with it. Published in association with the
