Book Synopsis
From long-haired Jewish composers to young women playing a little piano to tone-deaf British concert-goers, Victorian novels are filled with musical characters. Auerbach''s fascinating and comprehensive study reveals that Dickens, Thackeray, Hardy, Eliot, and other novelists of das Land ohne Musik found music to be a rich source of metaphor.
