What are the relations between "music" and "nation", and why are some
composers celebrated while others remain neglected? Music as "high"
culture has become a high-profile commodity and yet it still lays claims
to a unique spiritual sanctity. In "The English Musical Renaissance",
Rob Stradling and Meirion Hughes argue that research into the cultural
history of music can significantly help our understanding of the
evolution of English national identity. Controversial in both its
interpretation and methodology, their book challenges the intellectual
and social assumptions which surrounded English music in the early part
of this century, and relates the "renaissance" to its true cultural and
intellectual context.
