Autor Iain Quinn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2018
The book examines the perception of the organist as the most influential musical figure in Victorian society through the writings of Thomas Hardy and Robert Browning.

Recenzii

“The Organist in Victorian Literature is a short but deeply researched and highly readable foray into the interaction of music, literature, gender studies, aesthetics, religion and culture. Quinn has presented the tip of what appears to be a tantalizing iceberg of musical culture in Victorian England. … HlGHLY RECOMMENDED.” (Erik W. Goldstrom, The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians, Vol. 26, (7), September, 2017)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“The implications of Dr Quinn's argument about the centrality of the organist to Victorian musical life are well-made…Dr Quinn is equally illuminating and engaging--at times brilliant--in mapping this against the roles and distinctive meanings of the people who played the instrument. New, eloquently written, fully documented and analysed, this strikes me as a unique book, and of real intellectual consequence.”
- Professor Francis O’Gorman, Saintsbury Professor of English Literature, University of Edinburgh, UK
