Description
Virginia Woolf Music, Sound, Language by Elicia Clements explores how sound is integral to Woolf's understanding of literature, examining issues of meaning in language and art, politics of listening, rhythmic elements in her fiction, and the potential structural model that facilitates innovation in The Waves.
The book delves into the intermedial relationship between literature and music, revealing the intersections, conflicts, and convergences that arise when these two art forms intersect. Clements' methodology combines theoretical tools from literary criticism and musicology with emerging fields of sound, listening, and performance studies.
By combining these disciplines, Clements argues for new ways to study literary and musical artifacts, as well as the methods used to analyze them. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the musico-literary pairing and its conceptual, aesthetic, and political implications.
