Book Synopsis Eccentric Nation by : Stephen Albert Rohs

Book excerpt: The book takes as its point of departure the notion that a nation's music and performance culture was, in the nineteenth century, conceived of as the voice of its people. From ballads to parades to plays to orations, these cultural forms carried the burden of staging an identity for the national community and for the onlooking eyes of outsiders.
