This book examines the political resonances of E. M. Forster' s representations of music, offering readings of canonical and overlooked works. It reveals music' s crucial role in his writing and draws attention to a previously unacknowledged eclecticism and complexity in Forster' s ideological outlook. Examining unobtrusive musical allusions in a variety of Forster' s writings, this book demonstrates how music provided Forster with a means of reflecting on race and epistemology, material culture and colonialism, literary heritage and national character, hero-worship and war, and gender and professionalism. It unveils how Forster' s musical representations are mediated through a matrix of ideas and debates of his time, such as those about evolution, empire, Britain' s relationship with the Continent, the rise of fascism, and the emergence of musicology as an academic discipline.
Tsung-Han Tsai is an independent scholar specializing in music and twentieth-century literature. Since receiving his Ph. D. from the University of St Andrews, he has co-edited, with Emma Sutton, Twenty-First-Century Readings of E. M. Forster' s Maurice, and has published articles on Forster, Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, and life-writing.
