{"product_id":"music-and-image-richard-leppert-9780521448543","title":"Music and Image: Domesticity, Ideology and Socio-Cultural Formation in Eighteenth-Century England","description":"This innovative study examines the place and practice of musical life in eighteenth-century England among the upper classes. Focusing on the home, it shows how domestic music-making was shaped by socio-cultural forces while itself contributing to socio-cultural formation. The evidence examined is extremely broad, but particular attention is given to visual representations of music in paintings, drawings and prints: one hundred illustrations are discussed. The author considers in detail the problematics of imagery itself, analysing both the ideological and the semiotic content of the visual image. Other material analysed includes the music of the period, instruction manuals, tracts on education, courtesy and conduct books, sermons, letters, diaries and memoirs, fictional writing and journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Leppert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521448549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521448543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.73w x 0.53d","brand":"Richard Leppert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761027576063,"sku":"9780521448543","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aa72cbd-c4b9-499b-833d-7dc5b3d79f74.jpg?v=1706680167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/music-and-image-richard-leppert-9780521448543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
