From the strictly regimented church bells to the freewheeling chatter of civic life, Renaissance Florence was a city built not just of stone but of sound as well. An evocative alternative to the dominant visual understanding of urban spaces, The Noisy Renaissance examines the premodern city as an acoustic phenomenon in which citizens used sound to navigate space and society. Analyzing a range of documentary and literary evidence, art and architectural historian Niall Atkinson creates an “acoustic topography” of Florence. The dissemination of official messages, the rhythm of prayer, and the murmur of rumor and gossip combined to form a soundscape that became a foundation in the creation and maintenance of the urban community just as much as the city’s physical buildings. Sound in this space triggered a wide variety of social behaviors and spatial relations: hierarchical, personal, communal, political, domestic, sexual, spiritual, and religious. By exploring these rarely studied soundscapes, Atkinson shows Florence to be both an exceptional and an exemplary case study of urban conditions in the early modern period.

"Noisy Island: A Short History of Irish Popular Music is the first extended scholarly engagement with Irish popular music, a phenomenon which has provided the world with some of its most enduringly influential and spectacularly successful artists. Combining expertise in Irish Cultural History and Popular Music Studies, Gerry Smyth offers an authoritative and enjoyable introduction to this important (although invariably overlooked or misunderstood) aspect of modern Irish experience." "Beginning in the early 1960s, the book traces the emergence of a distinctive Irish response to international rock music, from the early beat groups through the varieties of blues-influenced styles of the late 1960s, and on to punk and its new wave aftermath."--BOOK JACKET.
