Critical writing about music and music history in 19th-century Britain was permeated with metaphor and analogy. This text examines how over-arching theories of music history were affected by reference to various figurative linguistic templates adopted from other disciplines such as art, religion, politics and science. Each section of the book discusses a wide range of musicological writings and their correspondence with the language used to convey contemporary ideas such as the sublime, the ancient and modern debate, and, in particular, the theory of evolution. Bennett Zon reveals that through their application of metaphorical frameworks taken from art, religion and science, these writers and their work shed light on 19th-century perceptions of music history and illuminate the ways in which these disciplines affected notions of musical development.
