Music permeated Georgian life and culture, and this book argues for its crucial influence on Romantic literary production. Combining archival research with original readings, Wood finds in the long-running debate over virtuosity both the lure of aristocratic luxury and the threats of machine technology and the professionalization of Romantic culture.
