Description

Explore the emotional musical styles that defined late nineteenth-century culture in this compelling analysis by Bloomsbury. The Passion of Music and Dance examines how flamenco, tango, and rebetika emerged as powerful artistic movements, whilst investigating the complex relationship between gender, emotion, and cultural appropriation in music history. This absorbing study reveals how intellectuals of the era co-opted emotional experiences traditionally associated with women, fundamentally reshaping these musical forms. The book offers essential insight into how passion and sexuality became central to popular music across Europe and America, tracing the cultural forces that pushed artists and audiences to explore the boundaries of conventional expression. Perfect for students, musicologists, and anyone interested in understanding how gender dynamics influenced the development of international musical traditions.

Key Features

The Passion of Music and Dance examines flamenco, tango, and rebetika as interconnected emotional musical styles that transformed late nineteenth-century cultural expression.

Published by Routledge and Bloomsbury, this scholarly work combines music history with gender studies to explore how women's emotional experiences shaped these passionate art forms.

The book addresses how intellectuals appropriated and redefined emotional practices traditionally rooted in female experience, objectifying them within popular music.

Ideal for readers studying the intersection of music, gender, sexuality and cultural history during the nineteenth-century transition to modern society.

This detailed examination traces how European and American audiences engaged with boundary-pushing musical styles that challenged conventional norms around emotion and living.
