{"product_id":"victorian-soundscapes","title":"Victorian Soundscapes","description":"\u003cp\u003eFar from the hushed restraint we associate with the Victorians  their world pulsated with sound. This book shows how  in more ways than one  Victorians were hearing things. The representations close listeners left of their soundscapes offered new meanings for silence  music  noise  voice  and echo that constitute an important part of the Victorian legacy to us today. In chronicling the shift from Romantic to modern configurations of sound and voice  Picker draws upon literary and scientific works to recapture the sense of aural discovery figures such as Babbage  Helmholtz  Freud  Bell  and Edison shared with the likes of Dickens  George Eliot  Tennyson  Stoker  and Conrad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987090174005,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195151917","price":32.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195151916.jpg?v=1770924387","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/victorian-soundscapes","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
