| Sumario: | Examining American realist fiction as it was informed and shaped by the music of the period, this book sheds light on the profound musical and cultural change at the turn of the twentieth century. The author examines landmark changes in American musical standards and tastes in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and the way they are reflected in American literature of the period. Whereas other interdisciplinary approaches to music and literature often focus on more recent popular music and Black musical influence in genres like blues and jazz, the author addresses the literary response to music that occurred in the decades prior to the Jazz Age. |
