Product Information
My hope is that by attending to sound I have been able to open up parts of these worlds, not to get a glimpse of them but to listen in. These were worlds much more alive with sound than our own, worlds not yet disenchanted, worlds perhaps even...|9780801472725|

Reviews
"Rath's range of evidence is broad and his analysis deep. Architectural, musical, religious, and anthropological sources, among others, all figure in his approach to a subject that could have become unwieldy in less skilled hands. . . . By the end of the book, few readers would question that sound mattered deeply to early American individuals and communities. . . . How Early America Sounded is an invaluable contribution to a field of cultural history that is still in the process of self-definition. Rath's original work offers discerning readers and listeners--advanced scholars and the general public alike--a new way to perceive and study the colonial past."--John M. Picker, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 112, No. 1, 2004, "What did the world of the early American colonists sound like? The native peoples and colonists alike were very much tuned in to their auditory world. Richard Cullen Rath's How Early America Sounded is a fascinating account of what might be called aural history. In our postmodern 'plugged-in' world, we archive sounds as photographs and video capture pictorial history, but as Rath points out, something has been lost, too. Think of this book as a going back to Walden Pond, but with one's ears wide open."-Ron Hoy, Cornell University, "In his new book How Early America Sounded, Rath tunes his ears to religious ranting, the roar of waterfalls, the boom of thunder, and other features of the colonial American soundscape. . . . In his effort to deduce the early American soundscape, Rath draws on everything from 17th-century sheet music to the architectural plans of New England churches to the measurements of old bells. But the real challenge is understanding how pealing bells and other sensory events were experienced by people at the time. The past is a foreign country - they heard things differently there. Sounds had an immediate power: They were tangible forces 'laden with in intent,' Rath argues."-The Boston Globe, April 11, 2004, "What did the world of the early American colonists sound like?

This is an exciting book of exceptional scholarly merit."--Mark M. Smith, author of Listening to Nineteenth-Century America, "In contrast to the modern world, which is ruled by such visual inputs as newspapers, television and traffic signs, early America was a sound-oriented society, according to this engaging and original academic study. . . . Writing in a scholarly but accessible style, cultural historian Rath ranges widely over the many facets of the colonial American soundscape, from Native American myths about natural sounds to the musical traditions of slave communities. . . .and opens a revealing window on the past."-Publishers Weekly, January 2004, "Mr. Rath rehearses fascinating sound-details from the 17th and 18th centuries, reminding us that what we hear, and how we hear it, is no small part of experience."-The Wall Street Journal, April 16, 2004, "As it moves from natural sounds to sounding boards to fiddles and finally to the rants of early Quakers and acoustics of meeting houses, Richard Cullen Rath's book grows in persuasiveness and argumentative force. How Early America Sounded is a valiant text which stands alone in the diverse fields that it touches."-Robert Blair St. George, University of Pennsylvania, "In his new book How Early America Sounded, Rath tunes his ears to religious ranting, the roar of waterfalls, the boom of thunder, and other features of the colonial American soundscape. . . .

How Early America Sounded is a valiant text which stands alone in the diverse fields that it touches."--Robert Blair St. George, University of Pennsylvania, "Illustrated with graphs, drawings, and photographs of church halls and amply annotated, this tour de force of original scholarship is suitable for all library collections. Indeed, its arguments merit repeated reading."--Library Journal, December 15, 2003, "In contrast to the modern world, which is ruled by such visual inputs as newspapers, television and traffic signs, early America was a sound-oriented society, according to this engaging and original academic study. . . .
