Romanticism and Music Culture in Britain, 1770–1840 - Virtue and Virtuosity - Gillen D'arcy Wood - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press - 2012 -
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
Music permeated Georgian life and culture, and this book argues for its crucial influence on Romantic literary production. Combining archival research with original readings, Wood finds in the long-running debate over virtuosity both the lure of aristocratic luxury and the threats of machine technology and the professionalization of Romantic culture.
