Reviews

Perhaps most crucially, the centering of social and cultural histories of music from an international perspective in a handbook of this scope and status benefits both musicology and history, offering and legitimizing exciting new directions for both.
*Rosemary Golding, The Open University, VICTORIAN STUDIES*

The Oxford Handbook of Music and Intellectual Culture in the Nineteenth Century provides a rich overview of current debates on nineteenth-century music scholarship. The book goes beyond the realms of traditional musicology and instead takes a more interdisciplinary approach to show how music in the nineteenth century permeated culture, intellectual practices, and a variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to, art, literature, religion, and science. While the breadth of the topics covered in this Handbook is particularly ambitious, the editors have done well to organise a cohesive edited collection that can be read from beginning to end.
*Brianna Robertson-Kirkland, British Association for Victorian Studies Newsletter*

The Oxford Handbook of Music and Intellectual Culture in the Nineteenth Century, edited by musicologists Paul Watt, Sarah Collins and Michael Allis, and published by Oxford University Press, is a commendable and recommendable reference work on the history of music and musical thought and feeling in Europe in the last two centuries.
