Music and Empire in Britain and India : Identity, Internationalism, and Cross-Cultural Communication

Bok av Bob Van Der Linden
Music has been neglected by imperial historians, but this book shows that music is an essential aspect of identity formation and cross-cultural exchange. It explores the ways in which rational, moral, and aesthetic motives underlying the institutionalization of "classical" music converged and diverged in Britain and India from 1880-1940.
