| Abstract
|
:
|
In this book, Francesca Brittan invites us to listen to fantasy, attending both to literary descriptions of sound in otherworldly narratives, and to the wave of "fantastique" musical works published in France through the middle decades of the nineteenth century, including Berlioz's 1830 Symphonie fantastique and pieces by Liszt, Adam, Meyerbeer and others.
