Reviews

Literature and Music in the Atlantic World is an ambitious work of synthesis, and a down payment on what we can hope will be further generalizations drawn from Jones's deep engagement with the modes in which musical experience and aesthetic theory drew sustenance from each other, along with their impact on political life during a period of tremendous change and lively - sometimes overheated - international debate. --European Romantic Review[An] impressive and attractive book. -- Susan Wollenberg, University of Oxford, BARS review
