Contents Orchestrating modernity: musical culture and the arts of noise -- Beating obedient, thinking of the key: Adorno, The Waste Land, and the total wrk of art -- The Antheil era: Ezra Pound's musical sensations -- Joyce's phoneygraphs -- Performing publicity: authenticity, influence, and the sitwellian commedia -- Aristocracy of the dissonant: the sublime noise of Forster and Britten
Summary Building both on literary cultural studies and work in the 'new musicology, 'Sublime Noise examines the rich material relationship that exists between music and literature. Through close readings of modernist authors, including James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Edith Sitwell, E.M. Forster, and Ezra Pound, and composers, including George Antheil, William Walton, Erik Satie, and Benjamin Britten, Epstein offers a radically contemporary account of musical-literary interactions that goes well beyond pure formalism
