Arguing that these cultures are not reducible to sound alone, the book further shows that these encompass representations of sound in 'other' media: especially literature; but also, cinema and painting. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFigures discussed include canonical writers such as Joyce, Richardson, and Woolf; relatively neglected writers such as Henry Roth and Bryher; and a whole host of musicians, artists, and other commentators, including Wagner, Schoenberg, Kandinsky, Adorno, and Benjamin. Conceptually as well as topically diverse, the book engages issues such as city noise and 'foreign' accents, representations of sound in 'silent' cinema, the relationship of music to language, and the effects of technology on sonic production and reception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Halliday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748627626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748627622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Sam Halliday","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943473840383,"sku":"9780748627622","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_feb214bb-1903-4843-8593-13c2bf4cc6ba.jpg?v=1681498321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sonic-modernity-sam-halliday-9780748627622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
