Figures of the Imagination explores the connections between musical scenes in romance fiction and the domestic song literature, treating both types of source and their intersection as examples of material culture. This new study of the intersection of romance novels with vocal music records a society on the cusp of modernisation, with a printing industry emerging to serve people's growing appetites for entertainment amidst their changing views of religion and the occult. No mere diversion, fiction was integral to musical culture and together both art forms reveal key intellectual currents that circulated in the early nineteenth-century British home and were shared by many consumers.
Roger Hansford holds a PhD in Musicology from the University of Southampton. He has taught on university music history courses and delivered research papers at conferences throughout the UK. His current research interests revolve around nineteenth-century romanticism, particularly music in nineteenth-century Britain and its cultural contexts.
