The Victorian Guitar, Exoticism, and Extinction Discourse from Radcliffe to Wilde
This article examines the often-overlooked Victorian guitar and its place in the musicological history of the long nineteenth century and in various canonical and non-canonical literary representations from those of Ann Radcliffe and Charlotte Yonge to George Du Maurier and Oscar Wilde, in the light of some Victorian music historians’ and contemporary organologists’ search for a stringed cultural heritage extending to the far reaches of empire.

Pop Art at Woodstock

Popular Music and the Postcolonial
Worlding Woodstock
This article examines the idea of the Woodstock festival and the pervasive influence of its afterlives in the creation of post-1960s’ global political consciousness, emergent “world music,” and the culture of festivalization, in light of a consideration of international inflections in 1960s’ popular music and the different narratives at work in the film Woodstock.

This article examines Brian Epstein's A Cellarful of Noise (1964) as a distinctly late-Victorian example of life writing that is masking as much as revealing its subject and exposing internalized homophobia in the period between 1957's Wolfenden Report and 1967's Sexual Offences Act in the ostensibly sexually liberated 1960s. The article considers the relationship between early popular music autobiography and celebrity self-promotion, mediated au…

The Poor Little Monstrosity”
Disenabling Fame
The 'world' before globalisation
Before the advent of 'world' music in the culture of globalisation, The Incredible String Band in the 1960s added elements of Moroccan and other international music into their work. In the context of an exploration of the band's journey to the east, this article argues that the ISB's 'exotic' sounds became the aural signifier of the psychedelic, and that the ISB's aesthetic of appropriation veered from fetishisation, and also homage and parody, t…
Anti-Orpheus
Jeff Buckley seemingly resisted entrapment by the 'Oedipal' myths of family, corporate rock, and the cult of dead celebrities, as well as the branding of his image and identity, but his rebellious, self-mythologising anti-narrative simulated the phantom narrative he opposed. In a postmodern context, Buckley's impossible search for absolute artistic authenticity, integrity and originality, given his ambivalence about his ethereal voice - the signa…
