Music and the prosody of voice: Dorothy Richardson and the transformation from silent film to the talkie -- Recording the soundscape: Virginia Woolf's onomatopoeia and the phonograph -- Turning up the volume of inner speech: headphones and James Joyce's interior monologue -- Inner speech as a gramophone record: Jean Rhys's Bohemian voice and popular music -- Turning words into sounds: Samuel Beckett's repetition and the tape recorder.

Subject: This study questions how early twentieth-century auditory technologies altered sound perception, and how these developments shaped the modernist novel. Without polarizing vision and audition, this book reveals how modernists tend to use auditory perception to connect characters, shifting the subject from a distanced, judgmental observer to a reverberating body, attuned to the moment.
