"Shakespeare and Music" by Edward W. Naylor is a scholarly examination of the intersections between the works of William Shakespeare and the musical practices of the 16th and 17th centuries. Written in the late 19th century, this work seeks to provide insights into how Shakespeare referenced music within his plays, as well as offering a historical overview of music's role in the society of his time. The book is aimed at both
Shakespeare enthusiasts and music students, highlighting connections that may not be immediately recognized in Shakespeare's texts. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of music within Shakespeare's works. Naylor begins by establishing the relevance of music to a significant number of Shakespeare's plays, indicating that music's role is both historical and psychological. He emphasizes that music was an essential aspect of social life during Shakespeare's time, often intertwined with education and cultural expression. Through his observations, Naylor expresses a desire to correct misconceptions and offer a clearer understanding of musical terminology and references found in Shakespeare's plays, suggesting that this knowledge can deepen readers' appreciation of the Bard's brilliant artistry.
