About this book

Vibratory Modernism is a collection of original essays that show how vibrations provide a means of bridging science and art - two fields that became increasingly separate in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Reviews

"This is a scintillating collection, packed with new ideas, making exciting connections between different fields and humming with intellectual possibilities. I expect Vibratory Modernism to make a very significant impact on modernist studies." - Professor Steven Connor, University of Cambridge, UK
