Drawing on the analogy between musical meaning-making and human subjectivity, this book develops the concept of the acoustic self, exploring the ways in which musical characterization and structure are related to issues of subject-representation in the modernist English novel.

Zoltan Varga is Associate Professor of English Literature and Culture at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway.
