The Sound Studies Reader is a groundbreaking anthology blending recent work that self-consciously describes itself as 'sound studies' along with earlier and lesser-known scholarship on sound.

The collection begins with an introduction to welcome novice readers to the field and acquaint them with the main issues in sound studies, followed by a new essay by the editor providing an intellectual history of sound studies.

Individual section introductions give readers further background on the essays, and an extensive, up-to-date bibliography for further reading in 'sound studies' makes this an original and accessible guide to the field.
