Reviews
'... part of an excellent series from Ashgate... thoroughly researched... a good book and well produced. The footnotes are ample but not cluttered; the language is clear and the index comprehensive' Times Literary Supplement 'This volume can be recommended to specialists in the times and economic climate of the early Victorian period.' The Delian 'This is an erudite and well researched study that introduces one to a neglected aspect of Victorian civilisation.' Contemporary Review 'The House of Novello is a model study of its kind, in that through a thorough examination and interpretation of detail, a clear picture of the position of music publishing in the wider contexts of social, cultural, and economic history emerges, showing how a successful publisher will remain finely attuned and responsive to these contexts, ultimately paying back into society by shaping and influencing tastes.' Brio 'Victoria L. Cooper contributes the first study of the firm in some time. The House of Novello is valuable in its careful treatment of just how the officers of the firm did their business: the nature of their publishing list, printing methods, copyrights practices, manupulation of supply and demand, and the journal they published, the Musical World... Though music historians have long known Novello's publications of music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Cooper gives the first systematic analysis of that list, one that is even more impressive than expected.' Albion 'Cooper‘s book deserves praise as an example of how publishers - and not simply publishers in relation to composers - played their own role in the musical culture of the nineteenth century.'
