Sound, Sin, and Conversion in Victorian England
«
'The Diana McVeagh Prize Committee commends Dr. O’Connell’s interdisciplinary scholarship, which traverses visual art, literature, theology, and music with great skill, and is delivered in exceptionally refined and lucid prose. Through her focus on the trope of the ‘fallen woman,’ Dr. O’Connell demonstrates--among other things--how images involving Saint Cecilia or Mary Magdalen informed Victorian perceptions of music's moral agency.' North American British Musical Studies Association, 2019 McVeagh Prize Committee
'In Sound, Sin, and Conversion in Victorian England, Julia Grella O’Connell provides a wide-ranging and learned study of music and theology in the Victorian era. O’Connell’s complex argument addresses the varied cultural manifestations of the notion that music and conversion are connected phenomena…the great strength of O’Connell’s book is its ability to follow the thread of music, hearing, and conversion through so many different cultural genres, including fiction, painting, and music.' Victorian Studies/Volume 62, No. 2
