| Abstract |
Sound transformed British life in the 'age of noise' between 1914 and 1945. The sonic maelstrom of mechanised society bred anger and anxiety and even led observers to forecast the end of civilisation. The noise was, as James G. Mansell shows, modernity itself, expressed in aural form, with immense implications for the construction of the self. |
