Led by the iconic Ian Curtis, Joy Division remains one of the most influential bands to emerge in the British Post-Punk Scene. In spite of Joy Division’s relatively short existence, their unique sound and distinct iconography have had a lasting impact on music fans and performers alike. This book disassembles the band’s contribution to rock music.

Based on up-to-date original research, Heart And Soul brings together established and newly emerging scholars who provide detailed examinations the many layers of this multi-faceted and influential band and their singer, the late Ian Curtis, in particular. Given Joy Division’s complexities, the book draws upon a wide range of academic disciplines and approaches in order to make sense of this influential band.

Eoin Devereux is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Martin J Power is a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Aileen Dillane is a Lecturer at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick, Ireland.
