摘要：Rachel Moore’s Performing Propaganda: Musical Life and Culture in Paris during the First World War offers a persuasive and detailed account of how wartime propaganda shaped French musical institutions in Paris between 1914 and 1918. Through extensive archival research, read through the lens of theories and histories of propaganda, Moore sheds new light on how concert series at home and abroad, major musical institutions like the Opéra and the Société des Concerts, and French musical publishing firms shaped and were shaped by newly developing ideas about music’s abilities to promote French culture in France and Allied nations. This cogent, convincing, and illuminating book will be a crucial source for researchers working on musical life in Paris during World War I, while also affording a series of critical readings for students in courses on music in France, music and nationalism, and music and war, just to name a few.
