This edited collection makes a significant and welcome intervention in the field of sound studies through its centering of the literary and the textual. Literature as Sound Studies reminds us that the literary is not merely ‘ear witness’ to the past but a place where the audible is constituted and sound worlds are produced. Editors yasser elhariry and Liesl Yamaguchi have assembled a fantastic roster of scholars writing on a historically and geographically diverse set of writers (from Thomas Dekker to Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine to Franz Kafka) who attend in complex ways to these provocations. * Anna Snaith, Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature, King’s College London, UK * A resource exquisitely attuned to literature’s neglected soundplay and rightful place within the booming field of sound studies. * Matthew Rubery, Professor of Modern Literature, Queen Mary University of London, UK *
