Summary "This unparalleled exploration reveals how understandings of sound shifted and multiplied in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Drawing on literary studies, musicology and history, and interrogating how writers of this period thought with and through sound, this book opens up a new chapter in the history of the senses"-- Provided by publisher
