Writing Noise in Interwar Britain

Literature and the Politics of Sound

Beschreibung

This book explores the preoccupation with 'unwanted' sound in interwar Britain. It contends that the extreme decibel levels brought about during WW1 created not only a concern with the effects of noise on the mind and body, but a reconceptualization of the material effects of sound that influenced writers.
