Description
Nineteenth-century England was dismissed by foreign commentators as "the land without music." Focusing on popular music in the urban and industrial areas of England between 1840 and 1914, Dave Russell shows how untrue this was. Britain was an extraordinarily musical place during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, with homes, streets, public houses, and public parks serving as musical centres to almost the same extent as concert and music halls. In the metropolis, orchestras were formed and music halls attracted crowds, but musical talent was also nurtured energetically in the industrial towns of the North and Midlands. Music education, ownership of instruments, and music publishing flourished as never before or since.
