Abstract
- The book "Singing the English: Britain in the French Musical Lowbrow, 1870–1904" by Hannah L. Scott explores the cultural exchange between France and England during the late 19th century. The author examines how French culture was influenced by British music and literature, particularly through popular songs and performances. The book delves into topics such as the portrayal of English stereotypes in French entertainment, the reactions to Salvation Army bands in France, and the fascination with Celtic folk music. Through extensive research and analysis, Scott provides insights into the complex dynamics of French identity and self-examination through song. [Extracted from the article]
