Dissertation project: National Airs: Musical Atmospheres of Empire in Britain and France, 1713–1848
My research considers the history of the Romantic “air,” understood as both a musical form and atmospheric medium. While many Romantic or proto-Romantic writers understood the air as a sort of psycho-spiritual “correspondent breeze,” many others took it as an acoustic medium for preserving an evanescing colonized culture’s most cherished histories.
