From Song to Print is a study of the major cultural transition from oral forms of art and discourse to the commercial culture of print that happened during the Industrial Revolution. Through a discussion of ancient musical forms (classical, biblical, and early-modern poetry of song), this book explores the typographical simulation of music and oral poetry during the nineteenth century. Original and innovative, this work shows how the musical writings of Romantic poets, such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, and Keats, evoke antique cultures and ancient settings while offering a critique of their own imitative forms and the modern, commercial context in which they appear.

"Hoagwood sweeps magisterially through British Romanticism, fixing our attention on poetic simulations, what he calls pseudo-songs, identifying their common features as well as marks of their historical progression, while never allowing us to forget that these poems preserve within the art of their contradictions the power of revelation. Sir Walter Scott, Lady Morgan, Thomas Moore, Lord Byron, Letitia Landon-each of these poets represents an alternative Romanticism curling back upon itself, critiquing its own practices. If these poets have all mastered the art of contradiction, they practice it with the companion skill of diplomacy-a skill that Hoagwood himself displays, abundantly."-Joseph Wittreich, Distinguished Professor of English, The Graduate Center of The City University of New York.
