Description

This outstanding collection of Susan McClary's work exemplifies her contribution to a bridging of the gap between historical context, culture and musical practice.

The selection includes essays which have had a major impact on the field and others which are less known and reproduced here from hard-to-find sources.

The volume is divided into four parts: Interpretation and Polemics, Gender and Sexuality, Popular Music, and Early Music.

Each of the essays treats music as cultural text and has a strong interdisciplinary appeal.

Together with the autobiographical introduction they will prove essential reading for anyone interested in the life and times of a renegade musicologist.
