Description

Sonic Modernity explores the diverse roles and forms of sound in modern literature and culture. This thought-provoking study examines how sonic cultures are shaped by various media, including literature, cinema, and painting. Through a wide range of texts and thinkers, Halliday reveals the complex relationships between sound and other aspects of modern life, such as city noise and technology's impact on production and reception. The book engages with key concepts and issues, including the representation of sound in 'silent' cinema and its connection to music and language. Halliday draws on a diverse range of sources, from canonical writers like Joyce and Woolf to lesser-known figures like Henry Roth and Bryher, as well as musicians, artists, and other commentators.
