Reviews

With passionate prose, abundant detail, and a dazzling array of sources, Jillian C. Rogers provides a gripping account in Resonant Recoveries of the many ways music helped to mend the fabric of French life after it was ripped apart by World War I. An ethics of care and concern for her historical subjects - traumatized, but resilient and resourceful - adds further distinction to the work and yields a multitude of fresh insights. * Michael J. Puri, University of Virginia, author of Ravel the Decadent: Memory, Sublimation, and Desire * Resonant Recoveries is eloquent and magisterial. In it, Jillian C. Rogers provides a stunning portrait of a community of people who turned to one another and to music after the trauma of WWI. By combining a massive amount of archival work with a sensitivity to the embodied experiences of both music and trauma, Rogers reshapes our view of French musical modernism and deepens our understanding of how people care for and console one another through music * Maria Cizmic, author of Performing Pain: Music and Trauma in Eastern Europe *
