Soundtracked Books from the Acoustic Era to the Digital Age: A Century of Books That Sing

This is a unique and interdisciplinary study offering a fresh perspective on recorded sound, challenging our assumptions about reading, listening, and the processes of choice and interpretation.
The intersection of the sonic and the literary will appeal to a range of subjects including sound studies, cultural studies, media studies and literature.
The crisp and lively writing style draws readers into a compelling central argument regarding how media is produced and consumed, both commercially and hermeneutically.
