Description

Explore the connection between nineteenth-century acoustical science and Victorian literature in Sounding Bodies. Published by State University of New York Press as part of the Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century series, this work examines how scientific discoveries shaped literary views on gender, sexuality, and intimacy. During the mid-nineteenth century, scientists like Hermann von Helmholtz and John Tyndall described music as physical vibrations that affected the nerves and muscles. This book analyzes how these concepts influenced a wide range of writers. From canonical authors such as George Eliot and Thomas Hardy to New Women novelists like Sarah Grand and Bertha Thomas, the text investigates how the concert hall became a space for erotic representation. It provides a deep look into how the physical science of sound influenced the way Victorian writers depicted human connection.
