Using an approach to music informed by T. W. Adorno, this book examines the real-world, political significance of seemingly abstracted things like musical and literary forms. Re-assessing music in James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Sylvia Townsend Warner, this book re-shapes temporal, aesthetic and political understandings of modernism, by arguing that music plays a crucial role in ongoing attempts to investigate language, rational thought and ideology using aesthetic forms.

Gemma Moss is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Birmingham City University. She has published on music in Ford Madox Ford, E. M. Forster, D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf, and is editor of E. M. Forster’s first novel Where Angels Fear to Tread for the Cambridge Edition of the Fiction of E. M. Forster, which is due for publication in 2024.
