Summary

This controversial study isolates and identifies the intellectual, social, and political assumptions which surrounded English music in the early-20th century. The authors deconstruct the established meanings of music in this period, arguing that music was not just for the elite, but it had come to represent a stronghold of national values, reflecting the reassuring "Englishness" of middle-class life as well.

Author Biography

Meirion Hughes is a freelance historian who lives in London.

Robert Strading, now retired, was Professor of History at the University of Wales.
