- Based on the Clarendon Lectures for 2016, this c.77,000-word monograph is about the use made by poets and novelists in the long nineteenth century of street songs and cries. The book’s range is exceptionally wide, covering works by British, Irish, American, and French writers, from Wordsworth to Whitman, Gissing to Proust, Barrett Browning to Woolf, and linking diverse genres and modes through a common interest in the literary appropriation of the music and voices of the urban soundscape. Within this broad framework, Karlin’s detailed textual analysis makes visible—and audible—the engagement of ‘high’ literary art with popular song.
