- Research for Popular Music and the Politics of Novelty spanned four years, originating in a highly intensive phase during my Early Career Research Fellowship in Popular Music. Years of research in the Bodleian Library, reading through the theoretical writings of Badiou, Brecht and Lukács was followed by significant research into, for example, ragtime music (the core case study of the first chapter) about which I previously had limited knowledge, and then other musical genres. The monograph is a strident challenge to the idea that aesthetic novelty is essential for radical popular music.
