Bloomsbury Handbook of Music and Art

Sarah Kraaz is Emerita Professor of Music, Ripon College, USA. She is editor of Music and War in the United States (2017). Charlotte de Mille is Associate Lecturer at The Courtauld Institute, UK, and curates The Courtauld Gallery’s music programme. She is author of Bergson in Britain: Philosophy and Modernist Art (2023), co-editor of Bergson and the Art of Immanence (2013) and editor of Music and Modernism, c. 1849–1950 (2011).

This wonderfully diverse and stimulating collection of interdisciplinary essays demonstrates beautifully how contemporary humanities needs more complex polyphony. Launched predominantly from consideration of music and art interrelations, a new turn in humanities scholarship is being undertaken here by both established and emerging researchers. Drawing on geography, ecology, museology, ethics and anti-colonial approaches (among many others), the relevance of this collection to all of us working in the humanities can hardly be overstated.
