Gemma Moss

Modernism, Music and the Politics of Aesthetics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An interdisciplinary account of the political importance of music in modernist literature Using an approach to music informed by T. W. Adorno, this book examines the real-world, political significance of seemingly abstracted things like musical and literary forms. Re-assessing music in James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Sylvia Townsend Warner, this book re-shapes temporal, aesthetic and political understandings of modernism, by arguing that music plays a crucial role in ongoing attempts to investigate language, rational thought and ideology using aesthetic forms. Gemma Moss is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Birmingham City University.
