From motorcar engines and wireless loudspeakers to the terrifying interruptions of mechanized warfare, the feeling of living in topsy-turvy times arrived via the ear. Yet historians have not listened to the sounds of early twentieth-century Britain nor unravelled what it meant to live in an 'age of noise'. This work turns a critical ear to the 'ways of hearing' operating in Britain between 1914 and 1945 and argues that attempts to shape encounters with everyday sound were expressive of hopes and fears for modernity. 410 0$aStudies in sensory history. 606 $aNoise$xHealth aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aNoise control$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aCity noise$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aIndustrial noise$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aNoise$zGreat Britain$xSocial aspects$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNoise$xHealth aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aNoise control$xHistory. 615 0$aCity noise$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrial noise$xHistory. 615 0$aNoise$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a363.74094 700 $aMansell$b James G.$01244416 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162736703321 996 $aThe Age of Noise in Britain$92886713 997 $aUNINA
